NEIGHBORHOODS

East High School is structured with “Small Learning Community Neighborhoods.” These Neighborhoods (Olbrich, Tenney, Warner, and Yahara) do not correlate with where families physically reside, but are assigned randomly. Within each neighborhood, students are supported by a specific Assistant Principal, Administrative Assistant, Counselor, Social Worker, Psychologist, and Dean of Students and ideally these connections will stay the same during a students’ four years at East. East’s Neighborhood structure offers opportunities for student-to-student and student-to-staff relationships leading to students’ becoming personally involved in and taking responsibility for their own education. The result of students’ feeling a part of the school’s academics and activities is increased chances for success both in and out of the classroom.

Student's assigned Neighborhood can be found on their schedule in period "zero".

Staff below work specifically with one or two Neighborhoods. (Printable PDF)
