A short history about the name of the school...
The school was formerly known as Lion Mill School. It changed its status to become Mt Helena Junior High School in 1954 with the addition of students from years 8 to 10. A new primary school was built next door.
Then in 1964 it achieved full high school status, being renamed Eastern Hills High School.
The school recieved its senior status in 1976 to become the Eastern Hills Senior High School.
