East Bank High School was a public high school in East Bank, West Virginia in Kanawha County. Its teams competed as the Pioneers. It closed in 1999 in a consolidation with Dupont High School to form Riverside High School.[1]
Jerry West played basketball for the high school.[2][3] It was established in 1912 and originally known as Cabin Creek District High School.[1]
West won a state championship with the East Bank High School basketball team and graduated in 1956. He was photographed with the team by DeLuze Studio in Charleston, West Virginia.[4] A crowd celebrating the state championship was photographed in front of the school. West was the first high school player in West Virginia history to score 900 points in a season.[5]
The football team won several state championships.[6]
A historical marker commemorates the school's history.[7] The yearbook was called the Kanawahan.[8] Alumnus Don Stamper helped build a half-court basketball court on the site of the school.[9]
