🌸 SPRING BREAK IS ALMOST HERE! 🌸

Mark your calendars, Chambers County family! Our students and teachers will be enjoying a well-deserved break from March 30 through April 3, 2026. It's the perfect time to rest, recharge, and create lasting memories together!

As we approach this special time, we're also reminded that April 3rd marks Good Friday—a day of reflection, faith, and renewal for many in our community. It's a beautiful reminder of hope, redemption, and the power of coming together with purpose.

Whether you're spending break time with loved ones, exploring new places, or simply relaxing at home, we hope you find moments of peace and joy.

See you refreshed and ready to finish the school year strong when we return on Monday, April 6th! 💚

🇺🇸✨ A Beautiful Day at Eastside! ✨🇺🇸

Today our new flags were proudly raised, adding even more beauty to the front of our school right here in the great city of LaFayette, Alabama.

The American flag and Alabama state flag are powerful symbols of freedom, unity, pride, and the values we teach our students every day. They serve as daily reminders of respect, responsibility, and community.

A very special thank you to Mr. Billingsley, our National Honor Society sponsor, and our outstanding National Honor Society students for sponsoring the new flags for our school. Your leadership and service truly make a difference!

We are proud to be Bulldogs and proud to call LaFayette home! 🖤💛
