Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, Link Crew trains members of the junior and senior class to be Link Leaders. As positive role models, Link Leaders are motivators, leaders and teachers who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school.

Thank you to our incredible Eagan High School community for your tremendous generosity and school spirit during our 5-day, school-wide food and supply drive!

Your donations will directly support families in need through the The Open Door Food Pantry, and we could not be more proud of the compassion and community spirit shown by our students, staff, and families.

This meaningful effort was sponsored by the EHS Choir Boosters, whose leadership helped make this drive such a success. Because of you, our EHS family continues to make a positive impact beyond our school walls.

Thank you for showing what it truly means to be part of the Wildcat community! 🐾💙

The Mentor Program provides motivated and talented high school students with the opportunity to learn at an advanced level by spending time onsite with a professional in their chosen career field. Mentor Program facilitators at EHS are Paul Kovack and Suzy Heilman and AVHS facilitators are Nicole Newt and Kyle Wahlund.

Last Wednesday, Mentor Field students from EHS and AVHS showcased their projects in the library during 6th and 7th hour. Students, staff, and visitors had the chance to view their work and learn more about the meaningful, real-world experiences these students gained through the program.

Are you — or someone you know — looking for a rewarding opportunity to work directly with high school students?

The EHS AVID program is currently seeking two additional AVID tutors to join our team!

🔎 Who We’re Looking For:

Adults (18+) who are interested in supporting high school students. This opportunity is ideal for:

• Current college students

• Retirees

• Community members

• Anyone who enjoys mentoring and working with teens

No specific content-area expertise is required — just a willingness to facilitate learning and encourage students!

🗓 Position Details:

• Schedule: Mondays–Thursdays

• Time: 7:30–9:30 AM

• Pay: Approximately $21 per hour

• Duration: Remainder of the 2025–26 school year (with possible continuation in future years)

• Facilitate small-group discussions

• Guide students through points of confusion

NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. In rugby, everybody plays, everybody carries the ball, and everybody tackles. Rugby suits all body shapes and sizes, and teaches explosiveness, decision-making, and agility.

Practice begins on Saturday, February 28th with our free TRY RUGBY event, from 1-2PM followed by our first practice from 3-4PM at the West St. Paul Dome. The season runs through the end of the school year. More information, including registration links, may be found HERE.

Registration is now open for spring sports - click the link below for more information.

Spring Sports Information

Students and parents should plan to visit college/university campuses on non-school days or outside of school hours. If this is not possible and students will be absent three or more school days, a Pre-Planned Authorization Form must be filled out, signed and authorized prior to the absence. If this process is followed, the absence will be verified. Forms are available in the attendance office.

Attendance Reminder:

Students absent 3 or more days for a pre-planned absence should complete the “Pre-Planned Authorization” form.

The forms are located in the EHS Attendance Office.

1. The form should be completed and submitted prior to the planned absence. We recommend at least one week or more in advance.
2. The student is responsible for arranging make-up assignments with all teachers before the absence to receive credit for the work.
3. Vacation absences beyond 5 days will be marked as unexcused. These absences will count in the excessive absence policy.
