During their spring tour of middle schools, the East High Varsity Boys Basketball team motivated and inspired younger students to play high school basketball, emphasizing the importance of academic achievement and community engagement

We are excited to announce that we have been re-certified at an AVID National Demonstration School. Madison East will continue to be one of the approximately 211 other AVID National Demonstration Schools as a center of teaching and learning that serves as models for implementing AVID and College & Career Readiness. A special shout out to the amazing East staff. Creating a culture of excellence, ensuring students have the resources, opportunities, and support to be successful!

ProStart students made a charcuterie board spread for AVID representatives to celebrate East continuing to be an AVID Demonstration School. The boards were bright and beautiful and enjoyed by all! All the meats were generously donated by Underground Meats.

Congratulations to the East students listed below who were awarded national honors for their performance on the PSAT this fall.

Carl Sabroff, East High School Class of 2020, is finishing his senior year at an art college in Milwaukee and has decided to donate lots of drawing supplies to East for future Purgolder artists. Carl is pictured winning a design award in Chicago last month. Another proud Purgolder! Thanks for paying it forward Carl.

The Madison East Math Club is very excited to announce the results of the "WMC 2024 High School State Mathematics Contest" that took place on March 6, 2024. At this year's contest, East High School had three students named 2nd Team All State. Major CONGRATULATIONS go out to these students for their accomplishment...

Congratulations to these additional students who participated in the WMC State Math Meet:

The renovated auto/metals/welding shop area is shaping up nicely. The flooring, ceiling grid, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEPF) finishes have been installed. In addition, fresh paint and new light fixtures brighten up the space immensely. Starting next week, the shop equipment will be re-installed.

The second-floor classroom renovations are also progressing smoothly. MEPF work is complete, bathrooms have been reframed, and new drywall is being hung. Drywall taping, finishing, and painting will be completed this week. Flooring and ceiling finishes will be installed in the coming weeks.

Next, crews will begin site work preparations for the future turf athletic field.

Updates on current and upcoming work:

East 9th grade and 10th grade students are scheduled to take the PreACT Secure Assessment on the morning (periods 1-4) of Tuesday, April 16th, 2024 at East High School. Students will need to bring their charged Chromebooks to school that day. To ensure an appropriate testing environment, April 16th will be a “9th and 10th Grade Only” day, meaning only 9th and 10th grade scholars will attend school. Breakfast and lunch will be served as usual.

Additionally, in the afternoon (periods 5-7), 10th graders will take the Wisconsin Forward Exam.

After students conclude testing, they can choose an activity to do for the remainder of the day (asynchronous work, academic and career planning, recreational sports, games, etc.)

Transportation will be provided similar to a regular school day and students will be released at the usual end of the day release time of 3:39pm.
