College Application Season!
Has your 12th grader applied for college?
Q: What is Eastwood doing to help seniors apply?
A: We have already hosted one college application workshop on September 24th. Another more intensive application workshop will be held on Wednesday, October 24th at 10:00 a.m. in the cafeteria. Ms. Stanley, our college and career counselor, sends regular emails and bulletins out to students regarding upcoming deadlines. She has been in repeated contact with students whose SAT scores are either non-existent or in need of improvement for retakes.
Q: As a parent/student, where can I go for more detailed information specific to Eastwood students?
A: Ms. Stanley's College Blog! Here's the link: https://eastwoodcounselor.blogspot.com/
Q: My child, who is currently a senior in high school, hasn't taken the SAT more than once and has yet to mention anything about college. Is he/she behind in process?
A: YES. Please email me and Ms. Stanley immediately and we will get your child up to speed. Mrs. Lira: blira2@houstonisd.org Mrs. Stanley: elizabeth.stanley@houstonisd.org

Principal's Student Advisory Board
Members of the board will serve one year terms, but can always reapply for the position in the following school year if they choose.
The purpose of the board is to discuss issues/concerns that impact campus or academic life at Eastwood, resolve matters of repeated rule-breaking, and propose then vote on policy revisions/additions that will be taken to the SDMC for adoption.
Here are your Board Members for the 2018-2019 School Year:
Reporting Issues/Concerns
If you hear something concerning that might require Eastwood administrators to intervene or look into further, please reach out to us. We often hear from students and parents "I don't want to say anything because I don't want to cause problems for myself/my child." In reaction to this, I want to say, #1: I always have the safety, security, and privacy of your child as a priority and #2: What if the information you have could potentially save lives? It is always best to report information you witness or overhear that requires further intervention on our parts as a school. Please do not assume we "already know." It's best to report the information and be redundant than to assume we know and nothing gets done because we were not aware.
If you ever need to submit a report, you can do so in multiple ways:
- Email Mrs. Lira directly: blira2@houstonisd.org
- Call/Text Mrs. Lira: 713-351-9050
- Speak to Mrs. Lira in person
- Email the school gmail account: eastwoodacademyhighschool@gmail.com
