Scholarship recipients' names and photos will be published in the upcoming newsletter, which will be mailed in late June (and subsequently published on this site).
The "Old East High" School opened its doors to the first class of Blue Bombers in 1901 from the structure which was then located at the corner of East 82nd and Decker Avenue. The school as well as the sports teams made some very notable headlines in their achievements.
The "New East High" School was built in 1975, and that structure remains to date. Many noteworthy achievements have been made during the new era as well. The school received a new gym in a dedication ceremony in 2003 due to a collapsed roof a few years earlier. The event was very well attended, by school board members, Councilwoman Fannie Lewis, Alumni Association President Robert Canady and Executive Board Chair Rhonda Young-Hurt, as well as many alumnus, parents and friends.
The East High School Alumni Association (EHSAA) is the oldest functioning alumni association in the Cleveland Metro School District. Having received its charter in 1901, the EHSAA has continued to raise funds and award the Daniel W. Lothman Scholarship to deserving graduates each year during commencement ceremonies. (Daniel Lothman was a principal at East for 21 years.) We’ve also been able to provide additional financial assistance, post entry into college on occasion.
With the “100 Years Celebration” in 2001, which was widespread in the media, the EHSAA was revitalized, and membership & fund raising efforts increased greatly. The EHS Alumni Association is stronger than ever, and we are fully intent upon “Leaving No One Behind”!
High profile Blue Bombers include: notorious international entertainer and philanthropist Bob Hope, author Chester Himes, author Harlan Ellison, Grey’s Anatomy star James Pickens, Jr., and stage star Alltrinna Grayson. (Visit the Resource Column for links to websites.)
