Minnesota students who plan to attend college in fall 2024 are highly encouraged to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Across the nation and statewide, FAFSA filing numbers are down compared to previous years.
This decreasing statistic comes at a time when more students than ever will qualify for Federal Pell Grants and be able to access game changing state financial aid programs, including the North Star Promise, the new scholarship program offering a tuition- and fee-free pathway for eligible students whose families make less than $80,000 per year.
For assistance with the FAFSA, Federal Student Aid offers students and families the ability to call, email or live chat on their Contact Center webpage.

DAKOTA HAWKS CI & PI SOFTBALL - STATE CHAMPIONS
In the storied history of the Dakota Hawks it is hard to accomplish many “firsts” but today there were a couple of major milestones at the State Adapted Softball Tournament at Chanhassen!
#1 Today was the FIRST EVER State Championship in Softball for the CI team. It was also the first CI title in any sport since 2015!
#2 Today was also the first time the Hawks won both state titles on the same day in the same sport!
Congrats to the HAWKS! The Championship game scores were an identical 5-4 and both were incredible games that went right down to the wire! In fact CI had a walkoff win after a very close play at the plate just one at bat after being thrown out at home on another great play at the plate!
Our PI Hawks on the State Championship team include Jae Bahma, Sammy Jordheim and Chloe Shibatta!
Our CI Hawks on the State Championship team include Kyle Jacobson and Ada Kramer along with coaches Scott Oxley and Jeff Anderson!

Girls Varsity Golf - Conference Champs
Congratulations to the EVHS Varsity girls golfers on their 4th straight conference title. The girls got a big 37 stroke win at The Wilds yesterday, where all girls shot well! Megan Young had a personal best of EVEN PAR (72), so she was also the tournament medalist.
Addison Schafer shot an 82 to earn 5th place, and Serafina Swanson placed 8th. Addison Hedrick, Anna Pitts and Haley Rasmussen also played well.
For those of you who teach our golfers, THANK YOU for your support of these girls and all of our golfers. We know they miss school a lot, so we appreciate your understanding. They work hard to keep up, so thanks for making time for them to make up tests and projects.
Other exciting news: 9th grade JV player, Ellery Wilbur, got a hole in one in our end of season JV tournament hosted by Alex Currie at our home course of Valleywood. A very exciting moment for her! (see attached picture)
