There are many organizations and activities at East High School. Students should watch for posters and listen carefully to announcements for meeting places and starting dates. We are always interested in adding new organizations based on student interest. If you have a suggestion for a new club, please see an administrator. Current, students may participate in:

• Dances: Several dances are held during the year. The standard EHS dances are Homecoming (informal), Winter formal (dressy), and Prom (very formal). Other dances may be approved through Mr.Blau’s office. All students should be familiar with the “Goodnight Rule”. Once a student has come to an evening activity, the student is not permitted to leave unless they intend to leave for the evening. Students who leave the event are not re-admitted.
  
  
• D.U.K.E.S. ( Desire, Unity, Keeps, Excellence, Successful): Acts as a service organization and has fun.
  
  
• Speech/Debate Team: Practices on a weekly schedule and participates in competitions with other schools. The team works on many different kinds of oratorical skills.
