Only school in Pueblo w/ IB Program. Has had more Teachers of the Year then any other school high school in Pueblo. In past two years, had more scholarship funds then any other high school in pueblo, and more division one athletic scholarships. DECA consistently makes it to nationals. Great clubs and athletics. Great traditions, student and community support through the East High Alumni Association.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Colorado used the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10. The TSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Colorado. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test. The TCAP replaced the CSAP as Colorado's state assessment program effective for the 2011-2012 school year.
