Dear Wolves -
At our Moving Up assembly we said goodbye to our graduating seniors. The final goodbye for many is when they walk through the Tunnel of Tears, and yes, the name is fitting. Goodbyes are always hard. We are proud of our graduating seniors. Their futures are bright. The hallways won’t feel the same next week without them.
A highlight of our Moving Up assembly in recent years has been our school’s Lip Dub video. Dozens of our clubs and sports teams and affinity groups are represented. Big thanks to the student leaders who planned and filmed this complex video! This includes Brandon Angliss, Chaitanay Munjal, Mackenzie Hunkins, and Ethan Kim.
Wolf Strong, Pack Strong
Todd Apple -- Principal

Science Students Host Middle School Research Program
Sagunya Malhotra, a junior at Eastlake high school, and Rohinee Mattikalli, a current senior, hosted an ISB Middle School Research program at Eastlake in partnership with ISB (Institute of Systems Biology) under Mr. Cerveny's advisory. Both students were part of an ISB internship during the summer of 2021 and developed that internship into an educational short-duration program at Eastlake, for middle schoolers. The program was held from May 16th to May 25th, 2022, where middle school students learned about wet lab (micro-pipetting/microscopes), bioengineering a sustainable world using algae and bioplastics, metabolism processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration, and bioengineering technologies such as CRISPR. These students were also offered the opportunity to conduct their own algae experiment where they could add factors (making the algae more acidic or basic, change in the salinity, change in light, or change in sugar) and observe changes. The program was a resounding success with a tremendous amount of participation and engagement with the middle schoolers"

Emma Akinde makes the classroom a better place for all students to learn with her positive attitude and outlook for a world that is equitable and kind for all people. As president of the Black Student Union and leader of the Eastlake Student Equity Team, she tries to bridge the gap between our affinity groups and build an understanding with a culture of kindness and acceptance. Emma challenges herself with a variety of academically demanding classes and is always willing to help with any projects that need to be done. She helped select our two new Associate Principals. She meets everyone with a smile and excels at making those around her feel comfortable.

Juan Gonzalez is a brilliant student with an extremely difficult course load. He has thrived in all his classes. As a student, teachers can count on Juan to engage and contribute to discussions and to assist his peers. Juan is an active member of DECA and has won the state competition this year and achieved a top placement at DECA Nationals. But what makes Juan standout is his inexhaustible positive attitude. As one DECA advisor noted, he is always smiling, and that smile is infectious. He is humble, kind, and helpful to everyone around him. Juan makes Eastlake High School a brighter place.
