Happy Holidays from Dr. Polly Reikowski
The holiday season is upon us and I want to express my warmest wishes for each and every one of you to have a safe and restful winter break that is filled with love.
The new year is also just around the corner. One of the great things about the new year is the sense of renewal it brings. It's a chance to start fresh, and the perfect opportunity to make a change for the better. I look forward to welcoming all of our students and staff back on January 3rd so we can enjoy 2024 together!
Here's to a happy and healthy new year!
Closed for the Holidays
Just a reminder that Eagan High School offices will be closed December 25 through January 2.
School will resume on January 3rd, 2024!
Service Hours and GPA Reminder for Nat'l Honor Society Induction
If you have a sophomore student with a cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.8, or a student in grades 10-11 with a 3.6 GPA and above, they may be eligible for induction into the National Honor Society. Membership in the local chapter is a great honor that recognizes outstanding scholarship, service, leadership, and character in a student.To be considered for membership, eligible students must complete an application and information form. Although GPA is a primary factor in determining eligibility, students must also demonstrate leadership, service, and character.
TO MEET THE SERVICE REQUIREMENT, STUDENTS MUST DOCUMENT AT LEAST 24 HOURS OF SERVICE THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED BY ANOTHER ORGANIZATION FROM JUNE 2023 UNTIL THE TIME OF APPLICATION.
If you are hoping to apply for membership this April, make sure to fulfill the service hour requirement and complete your application on time. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue demonstrating the qualities that earned them membership. An Induction Ceremony will be held on Monday, May 20, 2024, for new inductees and returning members.

Safety Reminder Around Buses
Assistance from our families is needed! We are seeing increased foot traffic through bus parking lots. We want to remind EVERYONE that it is crucial to use the sidewalk rather than taking shortcuts through the bus parking lots, bus loops, or bus corrals.
The most dangerous time around school buses is between 1-5 mph when buses are entering and exiting parking spaces. A school bus has many blind spots and bus drivers are not able to see people when they are cutting through bus parking lots. We want to avoid any unfortunate incidents that may lead to injuries or even worse.
We kindly request students and staff to use the sidewalk when going to or coming from their buses. We understand that this may be inconvenient, but the safety is our top priority, and we believe that this is something we can control to make for safer passage to and from the school bus.
Thank you for your help, together, we can keep our students and staff safe.
Students Entering Eagan HS During the School Day
Maintaining security in our school during the school day is important. We want to be sure that only Eagan HS students, or students enrolled in our Career Development courses from District 196 schools, or those EHS students who travel from SES to EHS for one or two courses, are entering our building during the school day.
After 7:40 AM all students who enter the building travel in through the secure entry booths. Students will be expected to show their current student id card (which is issued free to all students each school year) at the entry booth station.
Any student who does not have the id card should stop in Attendance to request a replacement.
