Cranston High School East is housed in two buildings, the main building at 899 Park Avenue and the William A. Briggs Building located at 845 Park Avenue, which is where the school was originally housed. The Briggs building is home to the administrative offices of Cranston Public Schools, and also served as a Junior High School in the early part of the 20th century.
Cranston East was the first high school in Cranston; before Cranston West opened in 1958, the school was called simply Cranston High.

Facilities
In the late 19th century, Cranston High School was built and dedicated to William Briggs. In the 1920s a new section of the building (commonly referred to as "main") had been built because Briggs was too crowded at the time due to it being the only high school in the city. In 2007, the southeastern section of the building was rebuilt and added a few more (and much needed) classrooms in the area. It is commonly referred to as the "new wing."
Athletics
Cranston East has a rich history of athletics dating back the 1920s. As a member of the Rhode Island Interscholastic League, they compete in nearly every sport offered. They also compete in the RIIL unified sports teams. Their football team won a state title in 1972.
