District 196 and the City of Eagan are partnering on a Safe Routes To School study — looking at walking or biking to school, crossing roadways to/from neighborhoods, performing drop-off and pick-up, or navigating the school campus.
We are providing an interactive online map to collect your comments or concerns about existing routes.
The survey asks: Where do you have transportation safety concerns on or around the school campuses? This includes walking or biking to school, crossing roadways to/from neighborhoods, performing drop-off and pick-up, or navigating the school campus.
Start by clicking: Add Comments Here in the main menu. Then click the type of issue (driving, walking, biking, etc.) Then click the map location of your concern, and type your comments.
This survey will remain open for about two weeks.

Construction Involving the Stadium Parking Lot Begins Soon!
We have been informed by our District that, due to the warmer weather we have experienced, the construction project will begin over Spring Break at EHS. (Of course, this is the projected plan and actual construction may be later.)
EHS Students with Parking Passes for Spring Trimester will still have the large East Parking lot but no longer have the Stadium Parking lot as it will be under construction of the large underground water reservoir and relocation of the large storm water pipe. The Stadium Parking lot will also be used for construction throughout the project for the next year and one half.
The new parking lot to the north of the Stadium, along Braddock Trail, will open after Spring Break for student parking during the school day – only for students with Spring Trimester parking permits. It is striped for parking and lighted as needed.

Registration is now open for spring sports - click the link below for more 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.
- The form should be completed and submitted prior to the planned absence. We recommend at least one week or more in advance.
- The student is responsible for arranging make-up assignments with all teachers before the absence to receive credit for the work.
- Vacation absences beyond 5 days will be marked as unexcused. These absences will count in the excessive absence policy.
National Honor Society members are required to complete 12 hours of approved service/volunteer hours each trimester, totaling 36 hours per year. Students are able to accumulate 5 hours of community service over the summer which can count toward their 12 fall trimester hours. Please be aware that these hours must be separate from any required service related to other organizations of which you may be a member.
Follow this LINK for more information on National Honor Society.
All high school activity buses depart at 4:50pm. We will issue an Activity Pass for the entire school year for students needing the late bus home from school. The activity bus pass will be for students participating in after school sports or club and the one day pass will be for students staying after school for other reasons. Students with the pass will need to hold onto the pass and present to the driver when they board the bus. Students will not be allowed on the activity bus if they do not have a pass. Please stop by the Main Office to ask for a pass.
Activity Buses leave at 4:50 PM from the South Entrance
The process for reporting an absence has changed. You will now use Infinite Campus access through the parent portal.
This page includes instructions in English, Somali, and Spanish, as well as the Infinite Campus login link for parents:
