Walk Through The Student Schedule
Come to EHS with your student's schedule for Fall Trimester. You will need to have the schedule as you move through the student day. It is an evening to "Walk Through the Student Schedule" spending some time with each of the classes and teachers your student has.
We begin at 6 PM in Period One. We end with 7th Period. Teachers will be in the classroom spaces to meet with parents and guardians. Get to know the teachers and learn about the classes your student is taking.
Plan to arrive by 5:45 PM as it takes time to park and enter the building.

We will be able to print student schedules at the Main Office just inside the South Doors of EHS.

All proceeds will go to the Unified movement at Eagan High School. What is the “EHS Unified” and what will the raised money go towards? EHS has a large number of students and staff that are a part of a group called “Unified”. The Unified group has a purposeful plan to promote meaningful social inclusion by bringing together students with and without disabilities to create accepting school environments. At EHS, we have done this through shared activities, courses, sports and activities. We currently have a Unified Physical Education class, have participated in Unified bocce ball, basketball (21/22 Section B State Champions), bowling and soccer tournaments, created awareness and participated in school wide recognition of Unity Day, and the “Kindness Matters” and “Spread the Word” campaigns . These events can be costly and the money fundraised will go towards tournament participation and inclusive activities planned for all EHS students throughout the 22/23 school year.
