School Grounds
East High owns land adjacent to the school, containing land only immediately around the school building.
East High does not own most of the ground around the school, including the track and baseball fields, however the land is primarily used by East. Much of the ground around the school is Seacrest Park, which is a public park owned by the city, and maintained by the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department. Seacrest field is adjacent to the school. The school parking lot is technically on Seacrest Park grounds, rather than school property. Although located near school grounds, the field is technically owned by the school district. The field is used in the Cornhusker State Games opening ceremony, the LPS Marching Invitational, and the Nebraska State Bandmasters' Association (NSBA) State Marching Competition, as well as the venue for most of Lincoln's high school football games. It is named after the Seacrest family, former owners of the Lincoln Journal (which has since merged with the Lincoln Star to become the Lincoln Journal Star).
