Шаблон:Infobox school East Technical High School or East Tech is a secondary school under the operation of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District in Cleveland, Ohio.

History

The school, when it opened on October 5, 1908, was the first public trade school in the city and reported to be only one of five in the United States. The first principal was James F. Barker (1906–1911) from Muskegon, Michigan.

In 1952, East Technical merged with Central High School. Central High was the first public high school in Cleveland and the first free secondary education institution west of the Allegheny Mountains paid for by taxpayers.

East Tech utilizes the small school system. Three small schools are located within East Tech: Ninth Grade Academy, Community Wrap Around, and Engineering Science & Technology

Athletics

The school was a sports powerhouse in the city, winning numerous titles in football, basketball and track and field. Some notable alumni include Olympic Games athletic stars such as Jesse Owens, Harrison Dillard, Jack Trice, and Dave Albritton. The original building stood for some 64 years until a new building was dedicated and moved into on October 11, 1972. The current structure now sits at the corner of E.55th and Quincy Ave on the east side of Cleveland. The original building has since been demolished.
