EastSide Mantra
Ask your student about our EastSide Mantra! To celebrate our hard work and commitment to getting across the college stage, EastSide students will learn and live our mantra, based on the work of Rita Pierson [educator and TEDTalk presenter]:
 
"I am SOMEBODY.
  I was somebody when I came.
  I'll be a better somebody when I leave.
  I am powerful, and I am strong.
  I DESERVE the education that I get here.
  I have things to do, people to impress, and places to go."
