Green Bay East High School is a public high school in the Green Bay Area Public School District serving Green Bay, Wisconsin and its surrounding communities (including the villages of Bellevue and Allouez). The school's street address is 1415 East Walnut Street.
East High School has been located in three buildings over its 150-year history. The first was on Howe Street in 1856 on land donated by the Astor family. This building was known as “Old Brick” and continued to serve as the administrative offices for the school system after classes were moved to other locations. The beginning of East High School is generally attributed to Professor Furber’s decision to add Latin and mathematics to the grade school curriculum in 1860. The first class of six students, four male and two female, earned their diplomas in 1875.
In 1893, a new building known as the East Side High School was built in the 500 block of South Webster. This handsome red sandstone building was referred to as “the school on the hill”, and the students as “Hilltoppers”. This building was dismantled in 1940 after the current Washington Middle School was built and the red sandstone blocks were used to construct a garage, gatehouse and walls at City Stadium, the home of the Green Bay Packers. The garage and the north wall remain standing and can be seen just to the north of the current East High School building.
The core building of the current East High School was built on a 23-acre (93,000 m2) parcel purchased from the Hagemeister estate for $80,000. Construction was completed by Fall 1924 at a cost of $661,492.31. The class of 1925 was the first to graduate from the new building.
More recently, East High School underwent renovation and expansion. The $21 million project was completed in March 2003 and added a new science wing and gym.
In 2011, East High School added the Institute for the Fine Arts, a specialized study program in vocal and instrumental music performance. In 2013, visual arts were added to the Institute's offerings.
