Today we wrapped up Winter Blast Week at EHS. The week was packed with fun activities that brought the school community together. Dress-up days offered students and staff a chance to express their creativity and school spirit. Polar Bear Bingo added a touch of friendly competition, as students marked their cards during PAWS in hopes of winning candy. The Night of Tournaments featured various games and sports, providing everyone an opportunity to showcase their skills and enjoy some healthy rivalry and win prizes. The Medallion Hunt, a thrilling treasure hunt, served as the grand finale, encouraging teamwork and perseverance as participants scoured the school and grounds for the hidden Medallion. The winners received a $50 catered lunch and $100 in gift cards. Thanks to all the students and staff that helped make Winter Blast week a success!

NATIONAL LETTERS OF INTENT FOR SENIOR ATHLETES:

A National Letter of Intent is a binding commitment by an athlete to play collegiate athletics for a particular NCAA college or university in exchange for a scholarship. (This means your son or daughter is signing a commitment to a Division I or Division II school to play a sport and receiving an athletic scholarship. This would also mean the college or university has been in contact with you and your son or daughter about the signing the paperwork. ) This is not the signing date for D-III or JUCO or NAIA Schools

Wednesday, February 5, 2025 is the second of three signing time periods for prospective senior student-athletes, who have played at Eagan HS, to sign their National Letters of Intent.

Signing will take place at EHS about 9:20 am - more details to follow with signees.

We will celebrate our D-1 and D-11 athletes at this signing

If you have a senior (12th Grade) son or daughter 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 and Sherri.anderson@district196.org the following by Monday, Feb. 3rd.

ELD Peer Tutoring is a unique opportunity to earn elective credit. This class is open to 10th, 11th, and 12th graders who enjoy assisting 9th graders at EHS with homework, study skills, and just learning about what it means to be a high school student. Some 9th graders are new to EHS and some are newer to English. This would be a great class to take if students are interested in going into teaching or any field that works with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. But don't take my word for it - click on the QR code to read testimonials from former tutors and tutees. You can reach out to me (dena.thorson@district196.org) with any questions or stop by room 253 (upstairs by the flags!).
