HISTORY "A committee of students from all three secondary student councils met with Dr. Boilesen and Mrs. Bonness and developed a plan to name the new high school. A list of 27 names was presented to students, and those receiving the highest vote were: Bellevue East, Bellevue West, Cooley, and Cornhusker. Another 26 names were suggested by students as mascot. The top five were: Warhawks, Apaches, Commanches, Trojans, and Panthers. In the spring of 1976 the school board accepted the names for the two high schools, but rejected the name for the West mascot. In the fall, Dr. Boilesen, and the board selected Thunderbirds, which had received the second highest tally of student votes. East High retained its mascot and school colors, but changed its name from Bellevue High to Bellevue East High." -Quote from Bellevue East's webpage MARCHING BAND Both the Bellevue East and Bellevue West High School marching bands compete in many competitions every year and are considered the two best bands in the state of Nebraska.

On the first week of the second semester, the Bellevue East school administration had decided to start enforcing the provision regarding frayed and torn clothing. Many students were sent home to change their clothing, or had a friend or relative called in to bring a non-ripped article of clothing in. The following Monday, a peaceful sit-in protest was staged in a commons area of the high school, led by the student mediator and representative for the students, junior Cameron S. Logsdon. By the end of the month, the protests had ended, with the dress code altered allowing tears below the knees. {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS |
