History

The original East High School was open from 1925 to 1998, when it was converted to a middle school. The middle school closed following the 2006 winter quarter. A new building reopened as a high school in 2007, following the closing of Rayen High School and Woodrow Wilson High School.

In its first incarnation, East's athletic teams were known as the Sunrisers, from 1925 to 1949. In 1950, the mascot was changed to the Golden Bears. When the school was preparing to re-open in 2007, students voted on what to name their athletic teams, and they decided on the Panthers, to the dismay of some alumni who wanted to see the Golden Bears resurrected. However, in 2017, the name was reverted to Golden Bears, and the school colors were changed from the updated light blue/silver back to blue and gold.[3]

Notable alumni
gollark: There's generally the common issue of trying to teach people stuff they often do not actually care about in very boring ways.
gollark: I think most of it does, really, but often in different ways.
gollark: The grammar appears to be missing things like flat earth, COVID-19 secretly not actually being contagious because something or other, Bill Gates, birds as government spy drones, government-generated cognitohazards in Facebook, periodic table "skepticism", and all that.
gollark: Artificial intelligence is hard and annoying to do, but artificial stupidity is really easy. Although it is harder to match the full range of stupidity of humans.
gollark: It has too many spaces in it, but I guess bad grammar is a conspiracy thing too.
