East Central Homecoming Hustle On October 14, 2022, we will be hosting the 6th Annual Homecoming Hustle. This year, the Homecoming Hustle will include a 2-mile Walk/Run through the school grounds of East Central, or a 1-mile track run/walk. The Homecoming Hustle is organized by the East Central National Honor Society and Wellness Committee, with all proceeds going towards the East Central Backpack Food Program. The Backpack Food Program provides a supply of nutritious food to children in need during weekends and holidays when school lunch and breakfast are not available. It is our hope these resources will support the health, behavior, and achievement of every student that participates. Thank you and look forward to seeing you on the track!
