Higher Ground was developed to ensure that this group of students will successfully graduate from East High. It provides different learning experiences through classroom, community and service learning. The philosophy of East Higher Ground is that unique learning styles of students can only be met when relationships between peers, teachers, parents, and the community are guided by a sincere interest to support and facilitate individual growth and success. This program provides the education and support services for students to develop skills necessary to become independent lifelong learners.
Equal emphasis is placed on academic, social, emotional and vocational learning.
