East Wilkes High School is a class 1A public high school (grades 9–12) located in Ronda, North Carolina. It is a part of the Wilkes County Schools system. The school's enrollment typically runs from 500 to 600 students. The school serves the East District of Wilkes County, including the town of Ronda, the communities of Roaring River and Clingman, and portions of Elkin.
The original buildings once housed Ronda Elementary School, but were later converted into a high school after the consolidation of the Wilkes County School system in the 1950s resulted in the construction of several new schools in the area. A new academic building and cafeteria have been completed, while the new vocational building remains under construction.
