About Our School

The Eastport-South Manor Junior-Senior High School was built when two districts with a rich history (Eastport and Manorville) merged as one to become sharks. The Eastport-South Manor Jr-Sr High School opened its doors in 2003 for students within grades 7-12. The school continues to develop new traditions and seeks to provide all students with access to a rigorous academic foundation and the skills needed to be successful in the 21st Century. The school achieves this by providing unique opportunities for our student body in a collaborative and supportive environment. The dynamic classrooms foster communication, critical thinking, and creativity within a demanding curriculum. Students are provided access to college classes, work experience and other preparatory programs that will assist students for life after high school.

Our motto:
Building a better tomorrow by making a difference today!

Despite the soggy weather, the ESM community demonstrated hometown cheer during the district’s 2024 homecoming, held on Sept. 28.

The weekend celebration commenced with a pep rally for junior-senior high school students in the school gymnasium, with each class competing to be the most robust cheering section. Individual varsity athletic teams were introduced by their coaches as the cheer team, marching band and color guard entertained and rallied the students.

After a Friday night bonfire, homecoming spirit transferred to the Shark Tank, where the football team took on Harborfields High School. During the halftime show, the cheerleaders motivated the already upbeat fans and the Sharkettes and marching band gave a flawless performance.

The Sharks lived up to their stellar reputation, securing a 21-12 victory and creating football game memories that will not soon be forgotten.

Equipped with rollers, paint brushes, stencils and paint cans, Jr.-Sr. High School seniors arrived in the early morning hours to start painting their assigned parking spaces during the school’s annual Paint Day, held on Aug. 29. Some of the students were accompanied by peers, while others made the activity a family affair.

After submitting a design for approval by Principal Salvatore Alaimo, the students painted their designs for a fee, which provided a colorful tableau for the student parking lot during the 2024-2025 school year. Monies collected will be used to paint over the parking spaces for the Class of 2026.
