Bet you didn't know: The state-of-the-art school is called the "Chateau on the Plateau" by its students. ... Eastlake has no school fight song or alma mater. ... All baseball games are played on the road during the first half of the season because part of the outfield on Eastlake's field is often under water. When the school was built, engineers designed the field to be a backup retention pond, a problem to finally be rectified after this season.
