Eastern Technical High School used to be known as Eastern Vocational Technical High School (also known as "EVT" or "Eastern Voc-Tech"), but due to a lack of participation in the vocational program and an increased demand for technology education, the vocational program was removed and the school was renamed in 1994. Unlike the other high schools in the area, Eastern Tech is not bound to one specific school district. All students must apply, take an entrance exam, and meet certain standards for acceptance to the school.

Academics

Along with standard classes, students participate in a career major of their choosing. Academic areas include Allied Health, Construction Management, Culinary Arts, Engineering Careers, Information Technology, Law and Public Policy, Interactive Media Production, and the Teacher Academy of Maryland.

The school features a variety of sports teams for both male and female students. The school also offers various clubs, including the National Honor Society, Student Government Association, Math, Social Studies, Music, English, Spanish, and Science Honor Societies, Future Business Leaders of America, Red Cross Society, a concert band, yearly drama productions by the Theater Club, and others.

Eastern Technical High school received a 74.6 out of a possible 82.5 points (90%) on the 2018-2019 Maryland State Department of Education Report Card and received a 5 out of 5 star rating, ranking in the 99th percentile among all Maryland schools.[1]

As of April 29, 2021, U.S News ranked Eastern Tech as the 132th high school in the nation. [2]

Students

The 2019–2020 enrollment at Eastern Technical High School was 1172 students.[3]

Athletics

Eastern Technical High School is known for the success of several of its sports teams.

In 2005, the Varsity Baseball Team won the school's first ever State Championship. Just a few months later, the Girls Varsity Soccer Team won the second. [1]

Eastern Tech lacks a 400-meter track as well as the number of fields that many high schools have and, as a result, their teams occasionally practice on other campuses around the Essex area, such as the neighboring Kenwood High School or CCBC Essex.

The school's mascot is the Maverick horse and it's official colors are orange and black.

Though Eastern Tech has no home track, they have still produced state champions in a number of track events.
