In 1992, East Forsyth won its only State football championship to date. Led by Head Coach Joe Bill Ellender and quarterback Joe Lagarde, the Eagles completed a 15-0-0 season by defeating Northern High School (Durham, NC) in the NCHSAA 4A championship game.

[edit] Facilities

East Forsyth currently has a total of nine main classroom buildings; four buildings house eight classrooms, two others house ten classrooms, and one houses up to sixteen. A "pod" trailer is housed in the back of the campus; it houses seven classrooms. There are also two gyms, an auditorium, cafeteria, courtyard, technology building, and an office building with a library.

Recently completed renovations on campus have ultimately changed the entire school. A two-story, "L" shaped building has been built; it houses 16 classrooms, office facilities, as well as a new media center. The existing office building has been renovated as well; it now houses fine arts as well as the business and technology education programs on campus. The auditorium and some of the current buildings have been updated, and new traffic pattern is also in place for the campus.
