East Upper School

Welcome to East High School! At East, we are proud to be fully reintegrated with the Rochester City School District, reaffirming our deep roots in the community we serve. Our campus — welcoming learners in grades 9–12 at 1801 East Main Street — combines the energy of a vibrant urban school with a supportive, inclusive environment where every scholar matters. We offer rigorous academics, career & technical pathways (in fields like health science, information technology, culinary arts, music, art and teaching & learning), and advanced coursework designed to empower each scholar to confidently take charge of their future. We believe that when we work together — staff, students, families and community — we all succeed. Join us at East, where culture is contagious and we are all in… all the time.
