Central Dauphin East High School is a public high school located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, one of two high schools in Central Dauphin School District.
History
Central Dauphin East High school opened in 1961. Central Dauphin School District was created in 1954, and this merger of several school districts was completed by the opening of Central Dauphin High School.
In the late 1990s, overcrowding in the Central Dauphin School District resulted in a proposal to merge Central Dauphin East High School with nearby rival Central Dauphin High School. The proposal was opposed by Central Dauphin East High School and was later voted down by the school board (after its removal in the election the week before). In 2000, the school board voted to build a third high school, but in a sudden turnaround by the school board, it was decided that the district would have only two high schools.
Since 1961, the yearbook has been called the Oriens. The school newspaper is called the Panther Print.
School Music Program
Central Dauphin East's music program consists of four bands, five choirs, and two orchestras. Bands include a symphonic, stage, jazz and marching band. The choirs include EHS Choraliers, Women's Ensemble, Concert Choir, Concert Men, and Treble Makers. Each part of the music department holds several concerts throughout the school year, including the annual spring musical, and seasonal concerts held in the auditorium. The arts are supported through the fall play.
