EAFAF Supports Alumni Activites
Reunions are an important part of the East High Alumni's continued connection to East. EAFAF supports the coordination of reunion activities, assists in locating alumni from each class, and provides general guidance through the planning of reunions.
The Alumni Relations committee in conjunction with the History Committee maintains the East High School Museum located in the Tower of the building. The Museum contains a complete history of East High School from photographs of the original structure in downtown Denver, a history of sporting events, memorabilia from classes from the 1800s through today, and all editions of the annual Year Book and the Alumni Newsletter (the Spotlight). This treasure can be scheduled for tours during reunions.
One of the founding organizations of EAFAF, Alumni and Friends of East, secured Denver Landmark status for East in 1991 and recently collaborated with efforts to list East on the National Register of Historic Places.
