Principal's Message
Welcome to the Website of Edina High School in Edina, Minnesota!
Edina High School is proud to welcome you to the 2009-2010 academic year. We enter the year with high expectations and great hopes; expectations and hopes to make this the greatest year ever! As we have met with student leaders throughout the summer, the slogan for the year is a clear choice; 09-10, “Best Year Ever!”
As you enter the year, the question becomes what you can do to make this year, the best year ever. Please take some time to ponder this question at a personal level, but also at a school wide level. Undoubtedly, 08-09 was a tremendous year. A year filled with so many academic, athletic, and fine art successes that concluded with a special graduation ceremony. The ceremony celebrated the many wonderful accomplishments and provided an opportunity to bid farewell to a very special class! But now, it is your turn. What can you do to contribute to your continued success academically or to our school climate? The baton has been passed.
First, we encourage you to complete and follow a plan that leads to academic success. At the end of the day, academic success is the greatest gift you can leave high school with and enter the next phase of life confident for the challenges that are before you. Second, get involved with a sport, activity, club, or other school sponsored activity. If we don’t have one which interests you, let us know as we may be able to help create one for you or your group of friends. Finally, you are in high school now and with this there are many high expectations; expectations of academic success and positive, appropriate behavior. Show up and plan to make a positive difference.
Edina High School is a nation leading, world competing school. We are in this position for a number of reasons. Your hard work as a student coupled with our outstanding staff provides you challenging and rigorous classroom experiences which both lead to your success. Please take time to get to know your classroom teachers and work closely with them in meeting their expectations for you academically.
The following information provides great insight into the many activities that are ahead for you as we begin our journey into the best year ever. Please take time to review and become familiar with the dates, times, and events in this letter. Again, welcome to the 09-10 school year, the greatest year ever! Yours in,
Hornet Pride!
