Jeff Smith, the Training Coordinator for the Marietta Plumbers and Pipefitters Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee will be at Eastern High School to talk to the sophomore class about their pre-apprenticeship program for next year on Tuesday, March 25th at 11am. Sophomores who apply and become accepted would then enter a 2-year pre-apprenticeship program next school year and attend Eastern on Monday - Thursday, and would need to report to the Training Center on Fridays. Completing the pre-apprenticeship program brings students valuable professional skills, and they would be in a perfect position to begin a trade apprenticeship, or pursue other similar fields. Students would also earn the construction industry credential pathway, and would fulfill vital graduation requirements as well by completing the program. This is a competitive program, but all students interested are encouraged to ask Mr. Smith questions when he comes to speak with students. Applications are available in the high school office at this time, along with other general program information. Help us find your "E" today at Eastern High School!

Congratulations to Kade Bullington, Eastern 8th grader, for being the Eastern Junior-Senior High School Student of the Month for February. Kade is an honest, hardworking student who goes out of his way to act selflessly each and every day. From holding the door for his entire class at lunch time, to helping someone who dropped their books in the hall, Kade is the embodiment of Eagle Pride. Keep up the great work young man! Kade also received a $50 Walmart Gift Card.
