It's that time of year again! Today Jeff Smith, Training Coordinator for the Marietta Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 168 spoke with all Eastern Sophomores about their 2 year Pre-Apprenticeship opportunity at our school, and also educated them on their apprenticeship process and history, including wages, and retirement benefits. 10th grade students can pick up applications from the high school office beginning tomorrow and are encouraged to return them to the office as soon as possible. Students selected will then participate in the two year program on Fridays beginning their junior year, and earn a 12 point industry credential towards graduation by demonstrating workforce readiness along with gaining crucial skills to provide a lifetime of career opportunities. This unique program allows students to stay in their school setting for their educational needs while gaining career readiness skills to support their future goals. Let us help you find your "E" at Eastern Junior Senior High School!

Last Friday, the Eastern Concert Band went to compete at the District 17 OMEA Large Group Contest for the first time in over two decades. Despite many snow days, illnesses, and shortened classes from two hour delays, Eastern came home with a rating of II "Excellent", the second highest honor an ensemble can receive. Considering the band performed at a high school level with 42% of the band being in grades 7th & 8th, this is a massive accomplishment and is not an easy rating to receive. Congratulations Eastern Concert Band, and thank you to all parents, families, communtiy members, and supporters of our wonderful program!
