A National Letter of Intent is a binding commitment by an athlete to play collegiate athletics for a particular college or university in exchange for a scholarship. (This means your child is signing a commitment to a Division I or Division II school to play a sport and receiving athletic financial aid for playing the sport. This would also mean the college or university has been in contact with you and your child about the signing the paperwork. ) This is not the signing date for D-III or JUCO or NAIA Schools
November 13, 2024 is the first of three signing time periods for prospective senior student-athletes, who have played at Eagan, to sign their National Letters of Intent.
We will celebrate our D-1 and D-11 athletes at this signing.
If you have a senior (12th Grade) student who will be signing to play college athletics during this time period please contact Eagan’s Athletic Director, Jason Elias.
Email – Jason.elias@district196.org or Sherri.anderson@district196.org the following.
Here is the info Mr. Elias needs for the event.

National Honor Society advanced planning for grade 10 and 11 students who may be eligible to be inducted:
Students who have completed winter trimester of their sophomore year with a cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.8 may be considered for National Honor Society. In addition, students in grades 10-11 with a 3.6 G P A and above and Honors Status may be considered for membership. Membership in the local chapter is an honor bestowed upon a student.
An application process is required for those who meet the requirements. Selection for membership is by a faculty council and is based on outstanding scholarship, service, leadership and character. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue to demonstrate the qualities which earned them membership.
In order to be considered for this honor, the student must complete an application and information form which is given to eligible students in April. Student eligibility will first be determined by GPA. The areas of leadership, service (24+ documented hours that are not required by another organization from June until the time of application are required), and character must be demonstrated by the student and verified in the application.
This service hour requirement is important for upcoming 10th graders or 11th graders who hope to apply for membership this April.
An Induction Ceremony will be held in May, 2025 for new inductees and returning members. New members must participate in our Induction Ceremony. Membership is transferred along with a student to a new school.
