History

Hazelwood East High School was established in 1974 with the classes of 1975 and 1976 attending split-class sessions in the existing Hazelwood High School building. Hazelwood East and Hazelwood West students attended classes in the morning, and Hazelwood Central students attended in the afternoon. Hazelwood East's new facility opened to students in the fall of 1976. The school integrated an "open-space" classroom concept. Because of this, many of the classrooms did not have four walls separating them from other classes. In the fall of 2005, the school's building underwent many renovations including 20 additional classrooms, additional windows and lockers, a science and math wing, and fully enclosed classrooms. After the 2007 redistricting plan went into effect, the student population dropped significantly, making the school less over-crowded as the students were partially re-distributed between the three high schools. [4] East High has also received substantial renovations during the 2013 and 2014 school years, receiving an additional practice gymnasium, wheel-chair accessibility to all floors, an expanded athletic wing, renovations to the 2nd and 3rd floors, and a new library, among other updates. [5] Beginning with the 2017–2018 school year, East High School began housing 8th graders under the new "East Middle School: 8th Grade Academy" after the original East Middle School was dissolved/absorbed from its original site to make way for the district's new Hazelwood Opportunity Center (Alternative School). [6] The 6th and 7th graders of East Middle were redistributed to Southeast Middle School and other surrounding district middle schools, while the 8th graders have the option to apply to the 8th Grade Academy or remain at their middle school. On March 8, 2024, a 16-year-old female student was hospitalized with a severe head injury after a street brawl took place north of the school. [7] [8] [9]

Supreme Court case

The landmark Supreme Court case Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier originated at Hazelwood East in 1988 and involved journalism students who were members of The Spectrum staff. Ultimately, the case was decided in a 5–3 decision in favor of the Hazelwood School District, with the Court ruling that the administrator's censorship of newspaper content did not violate the First Amendment rights of the students.
