Principal Message Dear Parents: We have had an eventful week at Eastlake with the excitement of Homecoming, culminating in the Homecoming football game versus Newport on Friday, October 2 and the Homecoming Dance on Saturday, October 3 from 9-12 PM. Our Homecoming week has focused on the idea of family. More specifically, we will continue to foster compassionate, empathetic and supportive relationships between and amongst students and staff. We have also had themed spirit days, and then at the end of the week we will honor our "Homecoming Heroes", students from every grade that best represent the spirit of Eastlake. Part of this also includes making positive choices both inside and outside of the classroom. As leaders at Eastlake High School, we view the safety and security of students as our paramount duty. Keeping our kids safe takes a community effort, so during Homecoming week, thank you for working with us to ensure a fun but safe experience for our kids. Wolf Strong, Pack Strong!
