MHHSE is the oldest accredited high school in the state of [[Tennessee]]. The school incorporates grades 9–12. The school mascot is "Storm" the [[Ibis]], students and faculty are known as the Hurricanes and the [[school colors]] are orange and black. The school had an enrollment of around 1,520 students as of the 2017–2018 school year.

Isenberg-Siler Gymnasium was added in 1954 and the third floor was added in 1955. The south wing was added in 1968. A major renovation occurred in 1989 at a cost of 8.9 million dollars. A 1.3 million dollar library was opened in 2004 and was named in memory of Dr. Joe E. Gibson, Sr., a former School Board Member and East High supporter. A multimillion-dollar school-wide renovation/remodel occurred between 2010 and 2012. This included the addition of a new administrative wing, a new cafeteria, Freshman Academy, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) Academy, and Health Wing. The school changed names in 1968 and has been known as Morristown-Hamblen High School East since that time due to the new high school, [[Morristown-Hamblen High School West]] for students who lived west of [[Morristown, Tennessee|Morristown]]. The building is of traditional style and is located half a mile from the center of downtown Morristown. Morristown High School was known originally as the Golden Hurricanes but the name has been changed to the Hurricanes. The symbol used in earlier years was a tornado. However, the new logo is that of a hurricane, created for MHHSE by a design artist from [[New Jersey]]. The main building at Morristown East has dozens of classrooms, a cafeteria, an auditorium, a gymnasium, STEM Academy, Freshman Academy, Health and Wellness Center, and a library. In 2019, Principal Gary Johnson retired after holding the position of principal for 29 years. ==Awards and recognitions== *1969 AAA Football State Champions * 2000 – [[Quiz bowl|Scholar Bowl]], Won [[WETP-TV|East TN PBS]] Regional * 2005 – ''No Child Left Behind'', Blue Ribbon School * 2008, 2009, & 2010 – ''U.S. News & World Report'', Bronze Medal School ==Academics== ===Advanced Placement Program=== * AP Biology * AP Calculus IBC * AP Calculus II * AP Chemistry * AP U.S. Government * AP Human Geography * AP Language/Composition * AP Literature/Composition * AP Psychology * AP U.S. History ===Honors Program=== * Adv.
