History


Original Buildings

A junior high school was added to the High School in 1955, and two years later another wing was constructed to make up what is now known as Eastchester Middle School. The original gym and an auditorium were built at the High School in 1932, and a second gym was opened there in 1985.


Expansion

Eastchester High School received a major infrastructure overhaul with the passage of a $27 million-dollar bond vote in 2015. Among the additions were a new STEM wing, two computer labs, and an expanded cafeteria to reduce congestion of the rapidly growing student body.
