East Hollywood High School (EHHS) is an accredited public charter school in West Valley City, Utah, United States. It specializes in film production training for students grades 9–12. As of 2013, the school principal is Katrina Walker. Chartered directly through the Utah State Office of Education,[2] EHHS enrolls approximately 350 students each year.[citation needed]
The student body[3] is fewer than 350 and average class sizes are smaller than 25 students.
Many students take advantage of the school's Concurrent Enrollment[4] partnership with Snow College,[5] through which they can receive college credit without leaving EHHS.
Students at East Hollywood take only three classes at a time. Allowing them to focus their attention and participate in project based learning. Classes are approximately two hours daily. Each grading term is only six weeks long with six grading periods per school year.

In previous years, film production classes have produced a weekly school news program.[6] The weekly news program is no longer being produced.
