Boxer Bulletin
Eastwood Academy HS Newsletter - February 2020
Happy New Year, Families!
We have a lot of events and activities before we get to that point, however. I hope that you all will find this month's Boxer Bulletin informative and helpful in planning for the next few weeks.
Senior Graduation Regalia
Please use the button below this section to visit the Jostens website that is unique to Eastwood Academy High School.
Keep in mind the following when ordering caps and gowns:
- Only seniors graduating in the top 15% of the class should order the White (Snow) graduation cap & gown package with royal blue stole.
- All other students in the graduating class should order the Royal Blue graduation cap & gown with silver stole.
This change in gown colors was decided upon by a committee of students in the class of 2020 and the campus administration. Students decided it was an honor unique to the students graduating in the top 15% of the class and would be visually pleasing on the day of graduation.
If you're wondering whether to order your child a white or blue gown, class ranks for the purposes of graduation will be distributed on Monday, February 3rd to all 12th grade students.
Please do not wait until March to order. Doing so will result in additional charges from the company for rushing and handling fees.
Soccer Season
Below you will find the soccer game schedule. The last game of the season is on March 13th against East Early College High School - our annual Soccer Homecoming Game! We plan to win against the Falcons as we have every year I have been principal, so please make sure you come out to support our Eastwood Boxers!
