[edit] History
The school is considered a moving of Shawsville High School, which was originally a joined school with Shawsville Middle School. In the late nineties, a growth in the area's population caused demand for a new and larger school to house all the students. Eastern Montgomery was built soon after, with all the remaining Shawsville High students being moved to it at the start of the next year. Shawsville Middle remained in the old building, with the second building being shut down and used for storage.

The school's administrative staff is headed by Nelson Simpkins, the principal. Below him is the vice principal, John Wheeler. The school's bookkeeper is Karen Fain, with Joyce Midkiff as the Administrative Assistant. [13]
