EAST was piloted at Greenbrier High School in Greenbrier, Arkansas in the 1995/1996 school year. Since then, it has expanded wildly and sparked national recognition — there are now hundreds of EAST classrooms in over 200 schools in 8 states.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or east:
“There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
