Celebrating our Team

The unwavering commitment of our staff has contributed immensely to making Eden Prairie Schools an exceptional place where students and families feel welcomed each day. Their willingness to go above and beyond reflects their true dedication to our shared mission of inspiring each student every day.

Celebrating our History

A lot has changed since 1924, we are a much bigger community now. Take a look back through our first 100 years with Kathie Case, Devyn Stanton, EPHS '21, and Linda Wallenberg!

Celebrating Learning

Today’s students learn and grow in a districtwide preschool; six in-person elementary schools, including a Spanish immersion option; a newly renovated and expanded middle school; and a 750,000-square-foot high school equipped with classrooms and co-curricular spaces that the earliest Eagles could have hardly imagined back in the day! Watch how learning has changed over the past years.

Read a congratulatory letter from President Biden to Eden Prairie Schools

The First Lady and I send our congratulations to Eden Prairie Schools as you celebrate your 100th anniversary.

Eden Prairie Schools has experienced remarkable growth since the Eden Prairie Consolidated School originally welcomed students in a brick building at the top of School Road in 1924. The hundreds of educators and thousands of students in Eden Prairie Schools we see today are a testament to the important role these schools have played in fostering learning and community over the last century.

To the Eden Prairie students:

You make me more optimistic than ever about this nation’s future. Your generation is the best-educated, most accomplished, and most tolerant in our history. So, study hard, show kindness and compassion, and make your voices heard on today’s biggest issues. You will play a crucial role in shaping America’s future. What you learn at Eden Prairie Schools and how you apply that knowledge when you graduate are going to determine what the next 50 years of this nation will look like, and you have the power to make a difference.

To the Eden Prairie teachers, administrators, and staff:

Your devotion to our children embodies the spirit of America—ready to serve and eager to see others thrive.
The greatness of a Nation is measured in part by how it prepares the next generation to succeed, and Jill and I are in awe of
the remarkable folks like you who are entrusted with this responsibility. Every one of us has been shaped by someone who inspired our curiosity and helped us find confidence, who guided us to think more clearly and pushed us to strive for better. Thank you for not just what you do but who you are.

I wish everyone across Eagle Nation all the best as you celebrate this centennial anniversary.
