Eastern Elementary School uses D’Nealian Handwriting.

Handwriting.  This topic is sometimes more debated than politics.

Eastern Elementary still teaches handwriting.  Many schools have removed it from their curriculum because of technology.  Or, they don’t designate what specific system they use.  We proudly use D’Nealian at Eastern Elementary School.  We notify our local preschool programs of this so they can start introducing it to their 3 and 4 year olds.  Here are a couple of examples of D’Nealian with and without the stroke arrows.

If you have any questions about handwriting or any other Kindergarten Readiness topics, please contact me at the school.

Why You Should Choose Eastern

Why Should You Choose Eastern?

Eastern Howard School Corporation has a rather catchy tagline.

A Tradition Of Excellence. A Vision For Tomorrow.

You will not go to any other school in central Indiana and see this in such evidence as you do when you observe the culture and people around Eastern Howard. While the school system emphasizes traditional values and maintains a longstanding tradition of excellence, it constantly reevaluates itself to fit into the evolving world. Tradition in this institution blends with cutting edge technology and an eye toward the industries of tomorrow. Investing yourself in Eastern is investing yourself in a community. Don’t just take it from us though. Have a look at the video below to see exactly what parents and students see in Eastern Howard. We know once you do, you will understand why everyone wants to be a Comet.

Eastern Cares

Eastern cares about our community, our students, and our patrons. Every month Comets donate time and invest themselves in giving back to our community. Volunteering, donation of facility time, and donations to families in need are just a few of the common good works of our staff and students. Every month we will update this area to show how our Eastern family is promoting caring and compassion. You can browse our document folder below for more information. When available we will also share photos and video through our gallery folder.

Initiated by EHS band alums to honor Chuck and Joann Whorwell, this fund is committed to enhancing a culture of fine musicianship at Eastern High School.  Its goal is to make instruments more available and affordable and to provide for special clinics and instruction.  In 2016 grant funds were used to purchase two trumpets, and in 2017 nearly $1,000 was granted to purchase two flutes and one clarinet.

As of August 2017 the fund total was $30,100.  Continued donations to this fund will make even larger grants possible year after year.
