History
[edit]East High School first opened in 1925. For the 2007–2008 school year, the building was used to house East Elementary School, which served grades K–8.
In November 2007, voters approved a boundary change that transferred seven schools from Kansas City Public Schools to the Independence Public School District, including the nearby Van Horn High School.[2] Following this transfer, East was reestablished as a high school for the 2008–2009 school year, serving residents of eastern portions of the district who were previously served by Van Horn.[3]
Notable alumni
