From Scientist to Bus Driver to Teacher: Ray Trejo reflects on his journey back to Eden Prairie
Retirement never suited Ray Trejo. He wanted to get back into teaching, and Eden Prairie was calling him home.
 
That’s when two back-to-back yellow school busses, with the sign “Now Hiring: School Bus Drivers” appeared at Eden Prairie High School.
Deadline Extended: Voice Your Opinion on Coronavirus Relief for EP Schools

We’re requesting input from you regarding one-time, federal coronavirus-relief funds (called ESSER III) that are available to Eden Prairie Schools.

Please take a few minutes to submit your ideas, rate other ideas and engage with the community! We look forward to seeing your ideas.
