President's Notes

 

​​January 2025

A new year is upon us. Looking back on 2024, we enjoyed a successful year. We are holding a great Trivia Event in March and a wonderful Golf Outing in June.

 

During April and May we presented over $55,000 in Scholarships and this fall we issued approximately $25,000 in mini-grants to students and staff plus deposited $3,000 into each of the Principal’s Emergency Fund for the Central and West Campus and also provided over $5,000 in summer school and AP testing support.

 

We raised funds through our fundraisers, plus endowment income, along with our ceremonial bricks and Wall of Honor Plaques. So, think about it: if you have someone you want to honor and/or remember, buy a brick for $150 or a plaque on the Wall of Honor for $100, $200, or $500.

 

If you or your family has an East Alumni in the family, we now have a seperate area of bricks reserved for Kingsmen!

 

If you need more information concerning bricks, plaques, or even starting a scholarship, please call me at 815-922-4065 or email me at mlturk05@comcast.net.
