“Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle” rang true for 27 Eagle alumni who graduated between 1974 and 2010 as they now work in the same halls they once roamed. There are no official records kept about these sort of things, but an informal East-County poll of schools shows that most schools have only three or four alumni working in their buildings. “I believe it’s a reflection on the community. As students graduate, they want to come back and give students the great experience that they had,” said Assistant Principal Mark Porterfield, who graduated in 1974. Twenty-one of the grads are pictured here. Read below to see a story on each of them. Editor’s Note: For personal reasons, one alumni declined to participate in this story.
