Expansions

Eastchester High School received a major infrastructure overhaul with the passage of a $27 million-dollar bond vote in 2015. [5] Among the additions were a new STEM wing, two computer labs, and an expanded cafeteria to reduce congestion of the rapidly growing student body. [6]

During Summer 2023, Eastchester High School had received extra parking spots in front of the high school entrance. Similarly, construction of an overhang for the main entrance and an extra entrance started around the same time and are currently under construction.
