East High School opened in 1967 as a
junior high and high school. In
1997 it became a high school only. Since the doors opened,
nearly 14,000 graduates have passed through the doors of East
High and former Spartans now live in all 50 states.
The Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools
was established in 1989 to support the Lincoln Public Schools. In those 20
years funds have been raised for programs at East High that go
beyond what tax dollars support, programs that enrich students’
learning and enhance the curriculum. Last year the Foundation
was able to help six Spartans compete at nationals in Washington,
D.C., for the We the People program. “Your willingness
to help me pursue my education to new heights makes me proud
to be an LPS student,” said Olivia Lambdin, current East High
student.
