Hello Hornet Community!
East Hartford High School Athletic Department wrapped up its very successful winter season April 4th with its annual Sports Night. Over 30 Hornet Student Athletes were honored for their academic, civic, and athletic accomplishments. Our Unified Sports Basketball team led the way with team accomplishments by winning their league and two tournaments ending with an undefeated record. This was followed by the boys and girls basketball teams each posting winning records and at times in the season being ranked in the state. Our boys basketball won a share of the CCC North, and made it to the LL State Semifinals. Cheerleading ended their season by finishing 7th overall in the state, a major accomplishment in this highly competitive field. Swimming finished a very successful season sending several student athletes to state trials and the LL Meet.
