training for students grades 9–12. As of 2013, the school principal is Katrina Walker. Chartered directly through the Utah State Office of Education, EHHS enrolls approximately 350 students each year.


Academics

The student body is fewer than 350 and average class sizes are smaller than 25 students. Many students take advantage of the school's Concurrent Enrollment partnership with Snow College, through which they can receive college credit without leaving EHHS.


Three Period Day

Students at East Hollywood take only three classes at a time. Allowing them to focus their attention and participate in project based learning. Classes are approximately two hours daily. Each grading term is only six weeks long with six grading periods per school year. This schedule provides many benefits: * Students can earn 9 credits in a school year. * Extended time in class allows students to complete schoolwork in class while the teachers provide individual support. * Only three classes to focus on at a time prevents students from becoming overwhelmed with too many teachers and assignments. * Teachers know each student and their individual needs because they teach fewer students at a time with only three classes. * Six week terms prevents students from falling too far behind and they are generally able to catch up quickly. * Six grading periods allows student the opportunity for a fresh start every six week.
