Welcome to East Junior High School. You are not here just to work. You are here to do work that is going to impact, shape, and change your life. Your work here will help build your ability to inspire excellence and create meaning in the lives of others you come into contact with. This is the kind of work that makes an imprint on this world that will last long after you are gone. Your work here will add meaning to your life. People will know what school you go to and who you are by your work here.

 

You are here to learn and to support others in their learning. Furthermore, you are also here to do much more.

 

You are here to set yourself up on a path to success. You will build the skills here to influence other children to lead inspired lives, to open doors of opportunity for them, and to help them grow strong. You are here to help transform what the idea of school is and ultimately transform this world for us all. They are counting on you. Your parents and your family are counting on you. Our county is counting on you.

 

This is no small task.

 

At East Junior High School, we refuse to accept the status quo. No matter what the challenge, we either find a way or we make one. We are strong and determined in the face of opposition. We care. We are tenacious. We do not quit. We are not swayed by easy fixes to complex problems. We join together to make powerful changes happen. We make no small plans. We create. We inspire. We struggle. We stay the course. We keep it simple. We refuse to give in. We prevail. We shine. EJHS is a place where Hope, Hard work, Humility + Growth, and Teamwork intersect.

Our school is a place where work is made visible. We are a team. We are a community. We are a family.

 

Educationally,

Dr. Kiffany Williams
Principal
