Effective the week of September 8th, any student who is considered chronically absent will not be permitted free admission to any extracurricular events at Eastside High School.
We believe consistent attendance is essential for academic success and full participation in school life. This policy is intended to encourage accountability and promote positive engagement with the school community.
Thank you for your continued support.

The school communities of Wise Central High School and Eastside High School came together tonight to kick off the fall football season in true spirit in Coeburn, VA. The band was celebrated, the cheerleaders brought energy and excitement, and the atmosphere was electric as we welcomed back high school football! A proud moment for both schools—here's to a great season ahead!
