EAHS is proud to offer one of the most well-rounded and comprehensive course selections in a WNY high school.  Students are required to complete a minimum of 22 credits in order to graduate.  This experience includes our core academic subjects and learning experiences in Art, Music, Business, Technology, Health, Physical Education and Language.  A critical component of the success of EAHS graduates is their participation in our specialty programs.  We support and offer 2-year off-site training programs focusing on one of 15 vocational trades, 18 AP courses including a 2-year college-level AP Capstone curriculum, a NYS Career Technical Education (CTE) endorsed business sequence, a 2-year Global Leadership multi-disciplinary program, a 4-year multi-disciplinary STEAM initiative and a Film Academy.

The interscholastic athletic program at EAHS is unmatched for a school with our enrollment.  Approximately 67% of the student body participates in at least one of our athletic programs and one-third participates in at least two sports.  Over the past decade, the Buffalo News awarded EAHS with the Prep Talk Athletic Program of the Year award, an honor that names our program the best athletic program among all schools, public and private in Western New York.  In the past decade, EAHS has accumulated numerous honors including 44 Sectional championships, 4 Far West Regional championships, and 6 team and 11 individual New York State championships. 

The EAHS extracurricular club offerings includes over 20 options for high school students.  They develop leadership skills, a sense of belonging and establish long lasting student activity traditions.  The options have evolved with the changing interests of our students.

Lyrics:

Alma Mater, East Aurora

We'll always love thy name.

Tho' fleeting years may come and go,

we will always sing thy fame.

We'll ne'er forget our school days,

our friendships firm and true.

Aurora loved by ev'ry heart;

We pledge ourselves to you!
