History
The school is considered a moving of Shawsville High School, which was originally a joined school with Shawsville Middle School. In the late nineties, a growth in the area's population caused demand for a new and larger school to house all the students. Eastern Montgomery was built soon after, with all the remaining Shawsville High students being moved to it at the start of the next year. Shawsville Middle remained in the old building, with the second building being shut down and used for storage. The schools greatest athletic success came during the 2010 season. The 2010 football team was able to reach the Division 1 State Championship Game, but to Riverheads High School by a score of 49-63.
