History East Forsyth High School was established in 1962, after the consolidation of Kernersville, Walkertown, and Glenn High Schools all into one school. The school colors (navy blue and white), the mascot (the eagle), the alma mater and school fight song, were all decided before the school opened. In the 1980s, silver was added to their schools colors, but it eventually shifted to gray.
