Unlike the other high schools in the area, Eastern Tech is not districted - it is not a "home" high school for any students regardless of location. All students must apply and meet certain standards for acceptance to the school.

I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
