The approximately 600 students who attend ECHS come largely from families who have lived and worked in the area for several generations. Most students have very strong connections to the community and the school, with many having a parent and/or grandparent who attended ECHS.

Alma Mater
The strength of a wave as it rolls to the shore
reminds us of Mariners who have gone before.
Of men and women who were strong and true.
Whose deeds and examples challenge us to
follow through.
We're Mariners, Mariners, and we'll always be
a part of East Carteret,
our strength is as the sea.
When our days grow short,
and our youth has ceased to be,
we can cling to what we've been and done
as long as there's memory.
Ballou, Ely, and Stith
