Eastwood Middle School

Eastwood Middle School At Eastwood Middle School, our mission is to build the mind and character of every student. Eastwood was built in 1955.

Its first year of operation was the 1956-1957 school year. Eastwood began with 532 students in grade 7 and 8 and had 27 faculty members, more than half were women. In Eastwood’s second year, the faculty grew from 27 to 36 members. Grade 9 was added to the building and the student body increased to 722. Dr. H Dean Evans began as principal of Eastwood in 1962. He would go on to become Superintendent of MSDWT and later, in the 1980’s to serve as the Indiana State Superintendent of Public Instruction under Governor Robert Orr. In 1972, Eastwood grows and expands by adding a new gym and other space to keep up with the times. In 1984, Eastwood was honored in Washington, D.C. by the United States Department of Education as a school that demonstrates “Excellence in Education.” Eastwood stands alone in Marion County as the student and faculty have earned the very exclusive Four-Star School Award. Eastwood has earned this award 10 times since 1993.

For Constitution Day, 6th grade Social Studies heard from a Supreme Court magistrate, former defense attorney, and (most importantly!) an Eastwood parent about their rights as US citizens and how the Bill of Rights protects their rights.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

Today, we join our nation in honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroes who responded, and the countless individuals whose acts of courage and service brought communities together. For many of our students, September 11 is history rather than memory. As a school community, we understand our important role in helping them understand its significance and the lessons of service, compassion, resilience, and unity that continue to resonate today.

We remember together and honor all who serve our communities and our country.

Our school counselors spent the week in classrooms helping our Eagles recognize bullying, understand the difference between conflict and bullying, and learn how to be an upstander, not a bystander!

Science is ELECTRIFYING in Mr. Rugenstein’s class!

Our Eagles are learning all about the states of matter and things got a little shocking when they explored plasma with a plasma ball! Nothing beats getting hands-on with science!

A few missed days here and there may not seem like much, but over time, absences add up! Every day in school is an opportunity for students to learn, connect with teachers and classmates, and build on what they learned the day before. Consistent attendance helps students stay engaged and stay on track for success.
Every day matters. Attendance counts!
