EAST HIGH SCHOOL AT 150

Blowout Doesn’t Dampen The Party

East High School was delivered a 43-0 shutout by Eaglecrest in the Angels’ Sept. 19 Homecoming game at All-city Stadium. But the final score did not detract from the festive ambiance in the packed home stadium as Angels past and present celebrated the 150th anniversary of the founding of Denver’s oldest high school. The entire Homecoming week was filled with events,  including a rededication of the school on Sept. 18 and the opening of century-old time capsules. The Homecoming game was highlighted by the appearance and of dozens of East alumni cheerleaders, who led cheers in tandem with the current East cheer squad.
