T3 Grade/Pass Option Deadline:
Grade/Pass Option agreements are due via online registration by Monday, May 1st. Students may take up to 1 class per trimester on a Grade/Pass Option basis. This option allows students to explore their interests in challenging subjects without the risk of negatively impacting their grade point average. The decision to take the grade or the pass is ultimately made at the end of the trimester. Filling out the form does not require the student to take the Pass.
Looking for Student Ambassadors
The purpose of the Student Ambassador (SA) program is to help new students at Eagan High School feel welcome and have a positive orientation experience. We are looking for responsible, friendly, open-minded students to represent EHS. Student Ambassadors will help the new students find their classes, set up their iPad and have lunch with them for the first few days. Applications are due Monday, April 10th. Application Form (must use school google account to access application form)
Peer Tutors Needed for Trimester 3!
