In 2008, Bruce Mastracchio established the East Greenwich High School Wall of Honor to celebrate alumni who have distinguished themselves through leadership, achievement, service, and character—preserving our history to inspire future generations. He purposely did not create a wall of fame, although there are some famous people on the wall.

The current coastwide total allowable catch is 186,840 metric tons. The board approved cutting it to 170,000 metric tons for 2027 and 155,000 metric tons for 2028.

In another regulatory move, the board voted to set the annual proportion of the Chesapeake Bay reduction fishing cap to the coastwide total available catch at 21.8%, which equates to 37,123 metric tons in 2027 and 33,847 metric tons in 2028.
