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).

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or grounds:
“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
—Advertisement. Poster in a school near Irving Place, New York City (1983)
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
