The Flash is Eastview's weekly student news production. Check out the March 20 episode here.

Students can benefit from an opportunity for academic support every Wednesday afternoon from 2:40pm – 4:15pm in the Learning Commons. Students are supported to complete their schoolwork learning in a supervised setting. Faculty and staff are available along with upper-class peer tutors (especially skilled in Mathematics). Students will identify their priorities (“What I Need” or “What’s Important Now”), create a plan for the most efficient use of their time, celebrate their accomplishments, and leave with a plan for continued success. Students do not need to sign up in advance for WIN Time. We do ask that students plan to be there for the start at 2:40pm so they can benefit from the full support. We will keep a log of students and their engagement (arrival/departure time and their focus/work while they are there). For students needing transportation home, activity buses will be available departing at 4:45pm.

To opt in to EVHS and District 196 text messages, text Y to 67587. Carrier messaging rates may apply.

The presentation of the MSAA exhibition at the Regis Center for Art, and the awards ceremony at the Weisman Art Museum, demonstrates the high level of achievement by art students in Minnesota, and the exceptional academic resources at the University of Minnesota for the study, practice, presentation, and interpretation of the visual arts. These works will be on display this summer throughout the month of June. Gold Key Awards are similar to an All State designation with Silver Key awards being similar to All State Honorable Mention

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are the longest running, most prestigious competition and largest source of scholarships for creative teenagers in the United States. The Awards program was created in 1923 by Maurice R. "Robbie" Robinson, founder of Scholastic Corporation, and has been administered by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers since 1994. It has an impressive legacy and a noteworthy roster of past winners including Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, and Joyce Carol Oates and many others.

Congressional Arts Competition - My District, My Minnesota

Emma Johnson (11) was selected to have her artwork hang in the Minnesota Senate Building for the remainder of 2024. Students were charged with depicting what life is like being a student at their school. Emma’s work depicts the balancing act that takes place between soccer, school and work.

Julien Noble (12) Was contacted by Senator Erin Maye Quade to meet and discuss his art and to have his work framed and hung in her Senate Office. “I was extremely moved by the artwork Julien Noble submitted for the My District, My Minnesota program… The painting was incredible, both in terms of the artistry and the message conveyed… It carries an important message, and I want to make sure that message is shared with everyone who visits my office.”
