Profiles

Mrs. Wagar, also known as Señora Wagar, is often thought of as a teacher who builds connections with her students and is incredibly active in the school’s community.

The sophomore has certainly taken this opportunity in stride, as an active member in at least eight of East’s clubs including Girl Up, Seneca, and French Club to name a few.

She’s made an impact on student’s and teachers' lives over the decade with her kind and funny personality. However, teaching isn’t something she always knew she was going to do.

Mrs. Ieda has been a part of the music department at East for five years, and this year, she has completely taken over teaching the Symphonic and Philharmonic orchestras.

Everyone deserves to have a safe place where they can let go of their stress and just relax. This was Kelly DeBerg’s driving purpose when she created AURA Salt Cave and Wellness, a local business that offers natural and holistic services for the overall wellbeing of the body, mind, and spirit of their customers.

Mrs. DeSantis has been an assistant principal at East for seventeen years and has made herself a familiar, friendly face.
