History

East Hartford High School has undergone many changes since its beginnings in 1886, and from 1962 until 1985 was one of two high schools in East Hartford, with the other being George J. Penney High School (the two schools merged in 1985). While now located on Forbes Street in East Hartford in the former Penney High School building, East Hartford High School was once located on Burnside Avenue, at what is now the home of East Hartford Middle School. East Hartford High School's school colors were once blue and white, but took on Penney High School's black and gold colors after the merger. Their mascot is the hornet, and their rival is Manchester High School (Connecticut)

Notable alumni
