It was designated as a Maryland [Blue Ribbon High School](/source/Blue_Ribbon_Schools_Program) in 1997, 2009, and 2010, a National Blue Ribbon High School in 2010, and a [USDE New American High School](/source/USDE) in 1999. The school is commonly referred to as Eastern Tech. ETHS was previously known as **Eastern Vocational Technical High School** (EVT), but due to a lack of participation in the vocational program and an increased demand for technology [education](/source/Education), the vocational program was removed and the school was renamed in 1994. Unlike the other high schools in the area, Eastern Tech is not bound to one specific school district. All students must take an entrance exam and meet certain criteria for acceptance to the school. ## Academics The 2024–2025 enrollment at Eastern Technical High School was 11330 students.[1] Eastern Technical High School received a 81.9 out of a possible 90.0 points (91%) on the 2023-2024 [Maryland State Department of Education](/source/Maryland_State_Department_of_Education) Report Card and received a 5 out of 5 star rating, ranking in the 99th percentile among all Maryland schools.[2] As of 2024, [U.S News](/source/U.S._News_%26_World_Report) ranked Eastern Tech as the 123rd best high school in the nation, the #1 high school in the state of Maryland, and the 33rd best magnet high school in the nation. Eastern Tech received a 99.3/100 overall score.[3] ## Magnet programs Eastern Tech offers students with nine different magnet programs for students to choose from for a career pathway in their interest.[4] **Magnet programs** - Academy of Health Professionals - Building of Construction Technology - Culinary Arts - Engineering Careers - Environmental Technology - Interactive Media Production - It Networking - Law and Public Policy - Teacher Academy of Maryland ## Athletics In 2005, the Varsity Baseball Team won the school's first ever State Championship. A few months later, the Girls Varsity Soccer Team won the second.[citation needed] Eastern Tech's teams occasionally practice on other campuses around the Essex area, such as the neighboring [Kenwood High School](/source/Kenwood_High_School_(Maryland)) or [CCBC Essex](/source/Community_College_of_Baltimore_County). ### State championships **Football** Class B 1972 state championship (team went undefeated) - 2A 2009[5] - John H.
