Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year!
EHS has much to celebrate with continued success in 2018-19. We had the highest number of students taking Advanced Placement exams in our history with qualifying scores miles above the state average. EHS students made solid gains on the MCA in reading, math and science. Our kids hosted students from South Korea; traveled to Hong Kong, Peru, Ecuador and DC. They planned an environmental summit, a Hornet Rally for 8th graders, a MUN conference and a Sparkathon on mental health. EHS athletes also won eight (8) team state championships, breaking our own record from the 80s.
Wow.
The Edina High School culture is one that fosters excellence and equity in academics, athletics and the arts with an active presence in the community. EHS students see themselves as future leaders with the capacity to tackle problems and answer questions around the globe.
While maintaining our tradition of excellence we also strive to stimulate progress. EHS fosters rigor, relevance and relationships, high expectations with systemic support and college and career readiness. Specifically our building and Professional Learning Community (PLC) goals for 2019-20 will be built around literacy and personalized learning.
Please use the Hornet Headlines newsletter throughout the school year for updates and information regarding Edina High School.
Thank you for your partnership and I look forward to seeing you soon. Go Hornets!

We will assign a locker as close to the area requested as possible.
Students will keep the same locker until they graduate.
Students can request a locker anytime during the school year.
