Eastmark High School
Eastmark High School represents a forward-thinking approach to modern education, adapting to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution where emerging careers require new skills and innovative learning environments. The design of Eastmark blends traditional academic structures with progressive concepts, focusing on fostering collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication. The school accommodates up to 2,800 students, including a Junior High School designed for vertical alignment, ensuring a smooth educational transition. This unique approach encourages a deeper sense of community while preparing students for the challenges of an ever-evolving workforce.
At the heart of the design is the integration of flexible learning spaces and academy-based education. The school features modular learning pods, which allow for adaptable teaching methods and provide students with a dynamic learning experience. Anchored by maker spaces, these pods support hands-on, project-based learning, enabling students to explore subjects in greater depth and collaborate across disciplines. The emphasis on Next Gen learning philosophies allows for an environment that promotes student agency and self-directed learning, helping students develop essential skills for the future.
Eastmark High School also offers specialized certification programs in Health Services/Nursing, Business, STEAM, and Fine/Performing Arts, providing students with opportunities to pursue career-focused education while still in high school. These programs are designed to prepare students for real-world applications and future academic pursuits. With future expansion plans in place, Eastmark is poised to remain at the forefront of educational innovation, offering an inclusive and adaptable space for students to grow, learn, and thrive.

Common areas are designed to encourage student interaction and collaboration. These spaces provide students with the opportunity to engage in group activities, study, and connect with peers in a functional, open environment.


Breakout areas are strategically located throughout the school to offer students and staff dedicated spaces for collaboration, studying, or regrouping. Seating is thoughtfully arranged near windows to enhance the flow of natural light, maximizing both the use of space and creating an open, welcoming atmosphere that encourages interaction and focus.
