Construction
The school was built in 1956, located on what was then the recently extended East Avenue (now Weber Street). The architect for the building was the company of Barnett & Rieder. Most of the school consists of a long classroom block that runs parallel to Weber Street. There is a large entrance stair at the south side of the classroom block, with the school offices to the north and the gymnasium, whose walls are of ribbed brick, to the south. The architecture of the school received international attention when it opened. This article includes a list of works cited but its sources remain unclear because it lacks in-text citations. ...

Crest The School's crest was designed by Former Eastwood Student Doug Rickert in 1957. Designed to reveal both the school's name but also the componenets of its life blood. According to the 1956-1957 Eastwood Yearbook, CHIPS, "The rising sun...denotes not only 'East', but also the light given by our leadership to other schools and the community around us. The maple leaves provide the 'wood', and in addition signify our pride in holding a place in the educational system of Canada. The open book signifies the great store of knowledge readily available, and the desire to receive it, both present in our school. The motto...has also been included in the attractive crest which is a suitable emblem of our school". Image File history File links Rebel_Lion. ...

The Mascot The school's original mascot, Johnny Rebel, was chosen to represent Eastwood's original rebellious spirit (many of the original teachers had left KCI to come to Eastwood). In 1999, it was decided that Johnny Rebel no longer personified what it meant to be a Rebel due to the fact that he was perceived to be a symbol of white bigotry (the Confederate Naval Jack was a prominent feature of his costume). This led to a contest being held among the students and staff to design a new mascot. Eventually, it was decided that two lions (one male and one female, wearing a football jersey and a basketball jersey respectively) would be used to reflect the school's "Rebel Pride". In 2003, another contest was held for another overhaul of the mascot, with students and staff again submitting designs. Ultimately, a design by former Eastwood art teacher David Okum was selected. The "Rebel Lion" combines both old and new - a lion in an updated soldier's uniform. The name was chosen so that when the words were pushed together, the word "Rebellion" was formed.

Waterloo Region Integrated Arts Program Eastwood is particularly noted for its specialized arts program, known as the Integrated Arts Program (formerly known as the Integrated Arts Package). The Arts Program offers courses in drama, dance, music (vocal and instrumental), and visual arts. Talented students come to Eastwood from all over Waterloo Region and beyond just to be an Arts Program student. However, the Arts Package is, after all, integrated, so its students take mainstream courses as well. It is a very great program, and many children choose to come to this school according to this program. 13:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)72.140.100.182 Map of Ontario with Waterloo Regional Municipality in red The Regional Municipality of Waterloo (or Waterloo Region or Region of Waterloo) is located in Western Ontario. ...
Huron Heights controversy In 2004, while the Waterloo Region District School Board was planning to build Huron Heights in Southwest Kitchener, the school was supposedly better suited for closure when at a meeting regarding the pending closure of Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School (KCI) a delegate from KCI stated that the Eastwood students and community had not rallied around their school as had KCI and Southwood Secondary School, another school scheduled for closure. After a brief investigation by the District School Board, the decision was not to close any of the schools at all.

Renovations In recent years the school has had a number of much needed renovations. A new library, dance studio, front steps, elevator, a re-vitalized woodworking shop, a (recently demolished) costume room, and a brand new sprinkler system completed in 2005 to bring the school up to fire code, which left many students wondering what the aesthetic qualities were to large steel pipes running though their classrooms.
