I would personally like to extend a warm welcome to all the students, parents and community members that support East Allen University. I believe that East Allen University will prove to be the wave of the future in education. The partnership between East Allen County Schools and Vincennes University will allow students to achieve a minimum of a core 40 diploma and will give students an opportunity to earn an associate’s degree while still in high school.   EAU has raised the bar in the field of education, as well as, created a new culture of expectations for accountability through the development of a unique and innovative school. 

The teachers and support staff at EAU are student-centered, caring professionals who make the school an enjoyable place for students to learn and grow. The entire staff sets high expectations for all students and provides dynamic lessons to help each student reach their highest potential. These highly trained professionals will work collaboratively and tirelessly to provide a positive and productive learning environment for our students.

The core principals of EAU will revolve around relationships, relevance and rigor.  This includes building relationships between students, parents, and staff; teaching a rigorous curriculum where students will earn up to 62 transferable college credits; be exposed to skills and careers of the 21st century; provide job-embedded professional development for all staff with continuous monitoring of our process as an early college academy.  Everything that we do has a connection and relationship to our end goal –ensuring all of our students have the skills to be prepared for college and career readiness.

As each student begins their first year at EAU, each student will be embarking in a new chapter and adventure in their lives. Therefore, we hope to work with you and your student to help ease this transition. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call the school. The administrative team, counselors, and instructors are here to help you and your student with anything that either of you may need.

Thank you for entrusting your child to us. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year together! 

With respect and appreciation,
Doug Hicks
Principal
