The Legacy Project
A big link to the rich history of East High was lost moving into the new building. We wish to connect the new building to the old building and link all East students, past, present and future with our long history and traditions. Thus was born The Legacy Project. More >>
The Foundation Begins Alumni Update Wondering about that yellow postcard you received in the mail? It's not a phishing scam: it really is from us!
The East Foundation has recently launched a comprehensive alumni data verification project with Publishing Concepts (PCI). We've assembled the information currently listed in our alumni files and now need your help to confirm the accuracy of your data and fill in any information gaps. A huge part of this process involves YOU. In the coming days you will receive communication from the Foundation, through PCI.
We understand that you might not want to provide your information to just anyone, so we want you to know their request for your information is legitimate. You have the option to include your up-to-date information in an alumni directory, and to purchase a printed or electronic version through PCI. It is okay to say no.
Your information will help assemble the directory, but it also ensures that you are kept current on East High events, reunions, and communications. Please know that your information will remain protected and will not be shared with outside entities.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact us.
I received an email/postcard/phone call from a company asking for my personal information and said they were working with Duluth East High School Foundation. Is this a legitimate project or is it a scam? It's legit! We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce our new alumni directory. PCI is a family owned business based in Dallas, TX that has published directories for educational insitutons, fraternities, sororities, and military organizations across the nation for almost 100 years. This project allows the Foundation to receive important updates to our database so we can better serve our alumni.
Does the High School benefit from this at all? Yes, in a few different ways:
Updated Information – allows us to effectively communicate with and engage alumni
Legacy – preserves the history of our school
Revenue – generates non-dues revenue for alumni programs
Pride – wearing apparel shows support and love for our school
How do I know my information will only be used for directory purposes? PCI is committed to protecting your information. The names, addresses and information provided to PCI for the publication of the Directory will be held confidential by PCI, except to the extent that they are utilized in, or in the preparation of, the Directory and except as required by court order or law. Upon completion of the project, PCI will redact PII (Personal Identifiable information) from any and all electronic files that we have supplied or were produced by PCI in connection with the production of the directory.
I would like to verify or update my information. How may I do this? If you received a postcard or an email with a telephone number, you may call the number to speak with a real, live human being representing the Duluth East HS Foundation Alumni Directory project. They will verify the information we have on file for you and make any updates where needed.If you received an email with an embedded link, simply click the link to go to the online site to review your information.
Can I choose what information prints in the directory? When you call to update your information, you can tell the representative if you prefer any of your information be excluded. You can also communicate your preferences to PCI's customer service help desk at 1-800-982-1590 / customerservice@publishingconcepts.com or to the Foundation directly via our website.
Can anyone purchase a directory? The Duluth East High School Foundation Alumni Directory is available for sale only to Duluth East alumni. **You will be listed in the directory whether you decide to purchase a copy or not.
When will I receive my directory? The total duration of the directory project from initial outreach to alumni to directory release, is about 10-12 months.
I ordered a directory/package over the phone and would like to cancel my order. How do I do this? Contact PCI's customer service helpdesk at 1-800-982-1590 / customerservice@publishingconcepts.com and they will take care of this for you.
