This is the coolest thing I've ever seen!!! I was searching for something totally unrelated and East High's web page jumped up on my screen. It must have been Divine Intervention. I am doing well since my East High Days!! After
graduation, I went to Howard University in Washington, D.C. From there, I attended Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN & I graduated in 1997. Currently, I am in my last year of Residency in the Family Practice Program at the University of TN where I am Chief Resident (East High has got
to represent!). I will graduate in June and then I will open an office in the Midtown area. I have been married for two and one-half years to a fellow Memphian that I met in D.C. He is a stock broker at a firm here in Memphis. I still keep in contact with my East High Pals and would love to get an email. I will definitely pass this web site along.

After graduation, I attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC),where I received my degree in Nursing. Also while at UTC, I met and married a wonderful man (who I am still married to after 10 years). We have lived in several states and have four beautiful children ages 1-7. Presently, I work as a crisis stabilization nurse.
I am so glad I "stumbled" upon this website! I'll be sure to pass it on! Feel free to email me at  . I would love to hear from/about the 1989 "Academy" graduates again.

Go Mustangs! After graduating from East High School in 1989,
I attended and graduated from Middlebury College in 1993. I spent my
undergraduate summers here in Memphis working at the University of
Tennessee at Memphis in the Biochemistry department. The summer of 1993, I
lived in Los Angeles, CA and worked as Teach for America Corps member in
the Unified School District. I taught school in Zachary, Louisiana from
August 1993-May 1995(which is right outside of Baton Rouge). I was a
teacher of the gifted. While teaching I was extremely involved in
community. I went on to attend the University of Memphis' Masters Program
in Urban Anthropology. I graduated with a Masters' in Urban Anthropology
in August 1997. Presently, I am serving as the Executive Director of the

What's up Academy!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't listen to my cousin, I do update my profile... She's a little slow getting in so please look over her. I love her though! I hope all is well and everyone is doing fine. I ran into Ms. Barnes the other day and she told me that Keith Story is coming home. I also talked to Aki and he's still chilling in Cali... Man You guys need to start writing some gossip on this site. Call me if you want to know what's really going on... Just kidding. I think I'm going to pull out the old yearbook and cross check this site with what everyone said they wanted to be in life... oops! Seriously I really miss you guys and God bless you all.

PS Is that enough of an update Vette?

Greetings to all... I have been very busy since I last wrote. Sorry it has taken so long. Shortly after my last entry, the Navy recalled me to support our country's latest endeavour in that dreaded and hot-as-hell dust bowl. I have, now, been called back to active duty for a second year in a more palatible capacity. I do not wish to bore any of you with any details but it is suffice to say that I can answer "been there, done that" to any of your questions. The good news is that I am home now and I will stay here for awhile (until the next big thing). I am trying with all my might to have a regular, run-of-the-mill lifestyle from now on. I have finally grown up!
Oh, yeah....for anyone who wants to know how Terrell is doing-he is quite fine, but obviously too busy to keep us abreast of any developments. We deserve a little of his time, RIGHT!?
Anyway, God Bless and keep you all.

Hello everyone! I am so excited that I found this page. I was checking out information on East because I wanted to send my son there for his high school years and wanted to see what was going on. Little did I know that I would find this page. Again hello everybody! I was so excited when I saw the names that were on here. It was a pleasure to to have been in the presence of all of yall back in the day( remember Mustangs strive with Pride cause it aint no half stepping). I as most of you have stated am doing fine. I am married and have been for 9 years. I have three wonderful children, Lamarcus 13, Brianna 4 and Morgan 6 months. I work for Hewlett Packard(HP)where I have been for 11 years. I am a logistic supervisor and I run inventory control for them . I have recently gone back to school to get my Bachleor's in Business and will specialize in Human Resource. Going back to school after 20 something years is harder than I thought, but will be well worth it to get my degree. I am pulling a strong B+ in both classes and yet striving for that A. I missed the 10 year reunion, as I did no know we had one, but I do not plan on missing the next one. It was great catching up with you all, especially Mr.Gatewood, Mr.Hobson, Ms. Burks and Ms. Macklin. Feel free to email or call me if you would like, I can be reached at ...

What's up Mustangs? I am on my way back home baby. I am a part of the dream team which means I put people to sleep for a living. (Anesthesia Doc) I am starting to work on plans for our 20th year reunion. If you have ideas drop me a line or Roshun. Life is good. I am not married yet, and have no children. However I did own a dog before he ran away. Has anyone season a buckwild beagle? I currently live in Worceter,MA but I am moving in 6 months to Memphis. I am still as much of a dreamer as I always was. Keith Story and Roshun are still my best friends. I still love God and continue to struggle to be more like him, while constantly coming up short. I am pretty much the same guy you knew 18 years ago, so I am told. I haven't quite figured out if that is good thing or bad thing. Best wishes to all you guys. And if a duck can pull a truck hook that sucker up. In other words, make it happen. If you don't someone else will. luv ya Kendrick Joyce

Greetings and mad love to all my Academy friends. It is a great pleasure to see that East High and technology have come such a long way since our days a few years ago.
 After high school I went to Duke University, played lacrosse (which I had only played a little during 2 summer visits up north) and lettered as a freshman, pledged Kappa Alpha Psi, and graduated in 1993. For a short time I was in Memphis in the Fall of 1993 Teaching at a performing arts school. Then I moved to Washington, DC in January 1994 because Kevin Reed (co 1989), decided to go to Howard Law School and I was thinking about going at the time. He said DC was a great place to have fun, make business connections, and consider law school.
I went to DC and worked for a stock brokerage house until I was approached by a business friend who worked for the federal government and knew I was technical. We talked, and before long I was working for a federal contractor. A short time later I underwent a year long investigation, was classified Top Secret/SCI, and began working for undisclosed classified organizations at non-disclosed locations for the government.
I worked in closed circles at a global level until December 2000 when I moved to New York for greater career challenges in the commercial/non-classified/unclassified world. Some say that I moved to DC when Clinton moved in, and that when he floated to New York I decided to check it out myself. I will say that DC during the Clinton years was fantastic.
When I first moved to New York I lived in Brooklyn for one year, before moving to midtown Manhattan in February 2002. I’ve spent most of my time in New York designing global WAN network backbones (i.e. computer infrastructure design (what else?)).
I had an office in World Trade Plaza and was on my way to my office for a meeting on the morning of 9/11. It was extremely surreal. I never had any great love for New York prior to arriving. It’s not the south, but I knew it was where I wanted to be from a business perspective. Since 9/11 though, things have been different, and I’ve certainly found a new respect and passion for New York. Ironically enough my brother (Edward McAllister – co-1992) was actually working in New York that same morning. It was strange and euphoric trying to make contact with my family and friends outside of New York, while also trying to find him and make sure he was ok.
Now I am in New York building a foundation for my business. I am a music producer and song writer, and have designed my business around music technology. I look forward to hearing from anyone who wishes to touch base. I truly enjoyed reading about everyone else’s experiences over the years and that’s why I took a minute to give some feedback on my time. You can reach me forever at  .

"Once again, it's the incredible/...89 the number"
Remember that ya'll? Anyway, can it be 15 years? Presently, I'm in
Oakland,Ca. I am moving forward in a career change towards landscape
architecture. Also, I have developed an artistic interest in
storytelling with an emphasis on folklore.
Glad to see that we are still here. Drop a line if you have the time.

Sup,
I am currently living in Memphis,TN. After high school I attended UT at Martin where I trippled majored in Management, Marketing,and Finance. I Received my MBA from Strayer University. I currently work in Pharmaceuticals-Yes the legal kind. I sell meds for Ivax Laboratories. Prior to that I worked as Corp sales manager for Marriott hotels. I am blessed and thankful for all of my experiences at a early age. Those experiences allowed me to receive numerous awards like who's who and Memphis 40 forty executives, and the opportunity to sit on several organization's Board of Director positions. Hey But RIZOD is still Real.

It's me Keith Mitchell. Believe it or not I just found out the we have an Alumini page and I am so excited. After I ended my break-dancing career (just kidding, I still break-dance),I received my B.A. degree from the University of Memphis in foreign language. I am currently not singing with the Voices of Binghampton (Kevin Davidson and the Voices)so that I may concentrate on my graduate studies. I am currently a Spanish teacher and a graduate student at the University of Memphis. I am still not married (but have been praying for a wife) and have no children. I am a member of "New Direction Christian Center", and have aspirations of starting my own business. My memories of East are some of my most cherished. I am so blessed to be a part of this endeavor. God bless you all and feel free to contact me anytime for I am always anxious to hear from you.
P.S. "Shout out" to all the old rap masters from the class of "89."

What's up East High Academy...Ha, Ha that's what we use to say. Man, it was great to read everybody's profile, good to know we are all hanging in there. I ran into Eric Kelly and his family at O'Charley's and he told me about this website, so hopefully we can somehow get together oneday and do lunch or dinner. Well as for me, I did marry right after high school, but we divorced 5 1/2 years later and from that marriage I was Blessed with a beautiful daughter and almost 16 years later I've been Blessed with a handsome son, just a little shy of 7 weeks old. I know what was I thinking, or was I thinking? But overall, life has been good and yes I am still employed at Time Warner Cable here in Memphis, which is where I've been for 11 years. Hey everybody continue to be Blessed and keep in touch.

Hi everyone. It has been a very long time since I've spoken to anyone from The Academy. When I visit Memphis, I normally see a couple of people from East at church or in stores. Those were some fun times...
I have been married for almost three years now to my true friend and love, Ben. We have three children Taylor(5years), Christopher(19 months)and my stepson Ben (14 years). We are happy. Being a parent has been my greatest blessing and accomplishment.
After leaving East, I attended and graduated from Lake Forest College in Illinois. I received my Masters in Education from Tennessee State University in 2000. I am currently working on a Doctorate in Administration. I have been working as a Special Education Teacher for the past five years and find it a joy.
I'm happy that I finally decided to submit a profile on this site. It has been a long time. Take care and God Bless!

Hi all! This is Nicole Parker, now better known as Nikki. I've been in Memphis now for 4 years, and although I'm enjoying being near my family, I can see why I left!!!
I'm working at a property management company, and trying to decide what I want to go back to school for. AND, I'm pregnant!!! I'm due December 30, but since it's my first I'm sure he or she won't decide to show up until the 5th or so! My fiance would love to move us to Toronto, but I want to wait for a bit.
Well, I would have loved to see you all at the 10 year reunion, but I wasn't able to make it down. I hope to see more of you guys now that I'm here!

What's up fellow mustangs, I have missed you all so. After
attending the most supportive and challenging high school in the country, I
attended Southeast Missouri State University on a track scholarship (thanks
Coach Young). I received my BS in Psychology then my MS in Clinical
Psychology from Emporia State University. In between programs I have worked
as a therapist at a battered women's shelter, an instructor for the Adult
Basic Education program (GED)and represented Dorothy's state as Miss Kansas
USA 1997 (no, I don't have toto).
I am currently at the Univ. of Missouri-Kansas City pursuing a Ph.D. in
Counseling Psychology. I should graduate before my first grey hair:). I
plan to teach at a university and provide couples counseling (to myself
first:). I feel really blessed to be an East High Alumni. My experiences
and friendships there have motivated and molded me into the person I am
today. I am so proud of everyone, but not surprised. What else would you
expect from a graduate of "East High Academy" Keep striving and Keep It
Real. I can't wait to see everyone again.
God Bless, Kathy AKA "Lovie"

East High Academy! Wow! It's great to see that so many of you are doing well. I really miss my years with you. For those of you that didn't know, after graduating I went to RPI in upstate New York. Didn't like it there... too cold. Besides, there's no place like Memphis. In 1997 God blessed me with a handsome little boy. Justin is now 5 and 4'2" with the temper of his mama (if you can imagine that!)But, I soon got tired of Memphis again and moved to the ATL. Atlanta is plentiful in jobs and after a week of being there I landed a nice job as a Database Developer. I loved it, but Justin didn't. He missed his grandmama. So, I'm back! But now in a different field... Property Management. E-mail me anyway. God bless you all.
