In the fall of 1980, Eastside Catholic opened its doors to 167 freshmen and 88 sophomores. What started out as a small high school in a rented space has grown into a robust community of 830 students grades 6-12.

Much like the 13 founding parents who envisioned a school that would offer their children a faith-based exceptional education, our community embarked on ways to support this mission.

Today, we are proud to announce Rise Up! as the theme for our annual STARS Auction. For over three decades, the STARS auction has provided vital resources to EC's operating budget, scholarship, financial aid, academic as well as athletic clubs, arts, sciences, campus ministry, extra-curricular activities and much more.

As this year's theme, "Rise UP!" implores us to ascend to a higher calling; to take part in our steadfast commitment to provide our students, faculty, staff and EC family a safe and nurturing home while we continue to navigate these uncertain times.

As we commemorate EC's 40th anniversary, we invite you to rededicate your commitment to Eastside Catholic School's mission and touchstones. While we are hopeful for an in-person celebration, we look forward to a fun filled week of online auction on April 9-17.

"Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds"- Hebrew 10:24

Thank you for supporting the STARS Online Auction and our students. We look forward to celebrating 40 incredible years with you.

GO CRU!
