East High School
Madison’s oldest high school, East High is a microcosm of the city of Madison, reflecting its rich ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity. We have a remarkable school culture that is based on trust and respect: where diversity is cherished and celebrated, and where students will embark on a process of self-discovery and learning in a safe and welcoming environment.
