Mankato East High School is a high school founded in 1973 in Mankato,MN. Construction began on East High School in the spring of 1970. It opened in fall of 1973 with 1,130 students in grades 9-12, even though construction was still taking place. Part of the new building housed a junior high for students in grades 7 and 8. When East opened a friendly rivalry began between the two high schools. This lead to a yearly football game between the two schools in which the winner gets the trophy of the "Jug". The winner as well as the final score is inscribed on the Jug each year and the winner keeps the Jug in their trophy case. Mankato East currently has around 971- 997 students in its school.
