ETHS was previously known as Eastern Vocational Technical High School (EVT), but due to a lack of participation in the vocational program and an increased demand for technology education, the vocational program was removed and the school was renamed in 1994. Unlike the other high schools in the area, Eastern Tech is not bound to one specific school district. All students must take an entrance exam and meet certain criteria for acceptance to the school.
