EC Central High School is a high school in the small industrious city of East Chicago, Indiana, surrounded by Hammond, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, and Whiting, Indiana, just of the tip of Lake Michigan, located in the busy Chicagoland. Its address is 1100 W. Columbus Dr, on the corner of Columbus Dr. and Indianapolis Blvd. Its predeccessors are EC Rooselvelt, which was located in the same exact location as the school is in now, and EC Washington, which served as a high school, for the high schoolers that lived in the Indiana Harbor side of EC. It is across the street of Westside Jr High. The schools mascot is the EC Cardinal.
[edit] EC Central High
East Chicago Central was established in 1986. Students from rival high schools, EC Rooselvelt and EC Washington, closed their doors and combined to make East Chicago Central. When the school first opened there were about 2000 students attending the school. Many teachers from the old EC high schools also taught at the high school. Many students that attend the school are of Hispanic and African American decent. This school is stereotyped in many ways, one being because of the gang violence situated in East Chicago and the old looking buildings that still stand from the 1930s.
