Hall of Fame

Ian Schneider Unsplash

Celebrate alumni and others exemplifying our “For the Service of Humanity” motto through ongoing involvement, leadership and philanthropy benefiting EHS.

The East High School Hall of Fame Committee (made up of EHS Alumni Foundation Board members) accepts nominations for the East High School Hall of Fame. Nominees should represent our motto and serve as an inspiration to alumni and students through their life pursuits. Honorees are then recognized and inducted at the annual All-Alumni Scarlet Celebration.

To watch the videos of the last few years’ HOF Inductees, visit our HOF Video page or our YouTube page.
