Mission Statement

Construction Project

W.C. East began a construction project in 2003, which ended on October 27th, 2006. The construction involved a huge redevelopment of the entire school interior and campus. Additions were made for a science wing, new gymnasium, new lockers and an auditorium addition. Also, new sports fields, including 43 acres used for all-purpose fields, were built to enhance the athletic programs. Harold Zimmerman Stadium was renovated to include a state of the art track and artificial turf field. The interior was renovated, including new music rooms, a new full size cafeteria, an overhauled auditorium, and a new television studio for the school's TV program. The project is now officially completed.
