The Eagle’s Nest showcased its skills at the annual EHS Got Talent. The showcase, which included a range of performances from all grade levels, included dancing, singing, and beatboxing. This year, the talent show tried a different model: winners were chosen by giving one award based on the judge’s choice and another using a crowd vote.
The event included a range of acts, but it was Sophia Dimayuga ‘26 and Deva Magaraja who emerged as the top winners. Dimayuga performed her rendition of “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” by Etta James, while Magaraja snagged audience favorite with his beatboxing performance entitled “Beatbox Original.”
Between performances, the event’s hosts, Sara Nasrullah ‘25 and Krrish Patel ‘25 riled up the crowd and transitioned through the performances smoothly. Many EHS students came to support their friends.
