Congratulations to our Class 2011 seniors! |
Our fifth school year is coming to a close as students finish their final exams and prepare for the summer. For our second class of graduating seniors, it is the end of their educational careers at East-West and the beginning of their futures.

Graduation will be held again at the Queens High School for Teaching and Evans J.R. Revere, an esteemed American diplomat with expertise in Asia, will serve as our keynote speaker. The ceremony will be held in honor of Odarri Lewis, a beloved East-West senior who passed away this year.
On June 1st, we welcomed new parents and students for both middle and high school into our school community. During the orientation, they met East-West administrators and teachers and were given tours by student volunteers. 245 students placed East-West as their top choice for 90 open seats in 6th grade this year.

Next year, we will see our first graduation of students who entered as 7th graders back in 2006. The following year, the first group of students who entered as 6th graders in 2007 will graduate. As we usher in new families and wish the best to our graduating seniors, the East-West community continues to grow beyond its walls, as does its potential to create a positive legacy in an increasingly globalized society.
