Dear Parents and Guardians, Students and families,

As we approach the end of the year, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes to all of you for a joyous and safe holiday season. This time of year is perfect for reflecting on the successes and challenges of the past months, and I am incredibly proud of the accomplishments our students have achieved.

The holiday break is a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, create memories, and enjoy the festive season. I hope you find time to relax, unwind, and cherish the moments with your loved ones. Please remember to stay safe and take good care of yourselves during this period.

We are excited to welcome all students back to school on Thursday, January 2, 2025. As we prepare for the upcoming year, we are committed to continuing our mission of providing a supportive and enriching educational environment for every student. We look forward to seeing our well rested students ready to embark on new learning adventures.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, peace, and prosperity.

Warm regards,

DR. Polly Reikowski

EHS Principal

The Summer Science Institute (SSI) program began in 1992 with the goal of exposing Eagan High School students to the beauty and wonder of nature... not city park-type nature, but truly getting out there and spending nine days in the Northwoods (Lake of the Woods area) at Laketrails Base Camp, learning and laughing. Applications are due January 17th. Please check out the links below to find out more about this great opportunity.
