East Forsyth High School is located in the town of Kernersville in Forsyth County, North Carolina. It is laid out in a college-campus style with numerous small buildings rather than a single large building.
East Forsyth currently has a total of nine main classroom buildings; four buildings house eight classrooms, two others house ten classrooms, and one houses up to sixteen. Two "pod" trailers are housed in the back of the campus. There are also two gyms, an auditorium, cafeteria, courtyard, technology building, and an office building with a library.
Recently completed renovations on campus have ultimately changed the entire school. A two-story, "L" shaped building has been built; it houses 16 classrooms, office facilities, as well as a new media center. The existing office building has been renovated as well; it now houses fine arts as well as the business and technology education programs on campus. The auditorium and some of the current buildings have been updated, and new traffic pattern is also in place for the campus.
East Forsyth High School offers many sports including Swimming, Wrestling, Track, and Football. The full list of East Forsyth's Athletic programs includes: Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, The Eaglettes Dance Team, Cheerleading, Softball, Cross Country, Swimming, Tennis, Football, Volleyball, Golf, Wrestling, Field Hockey, Track and Lacrosse.
In 1992, East Forsyth won its only State football championship to date. Led by Head Coach Joe Bill Ellender and the AP all state trio of, quarterback Joe Lagarde, and OL/DL leaders James Clyburn and Gary Wadford, the Eagles completed a 15-0-0 season by defeating Northern High School (Durham, NC) in the NCHSAA 4A championship game and finished with a ranking of #15 in the USA TODAY super 25 poll.
