9 National Merit Scholars and 332 AP Scholars Announced
Nine EPHS students are National Merit Semifinalists this year. The National Merit Scholar Semifinalists represent the top one-half of one percent of juniors nationally who took the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) last year. 

The National Merit Scholar Corp. also named 332 EPHS students AP Scholars because they successfully passed three or more AP exams during their high school career. Announcements of the National Merit Commended Students, National Hispanic Recognition Scholars, and National Achievement Semifinalists will be made soon.

EPHS will honor all National AP Scholars and National Merit Scholars at a breakfast on Nov. 6. Read more here.
Free Breakfast and Lunch for All Eden Prairie Students
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a short-term program to provide free school breakfast and lunch. All Eden Prairie children up to age 18 (and TASSEL students) are eligible to receive no-cost meals both for in-person and virtual learning days. We will provide updates as the program changes or expires.

If you are interested in ordering meals for your children, please click here and select the appropriate form to place your order on a weekly basis OR indicate if you wish to receive the meals for the duration of the program. A new survey will go out when the program expires. Please note: You do not need to order meals for students’ in-person days.

If you participate in this program and are in the hybrid model, students in group A will pick up their meals on Tuesday, and students in group B pick up their meals on Thursday. All other meals (for EP Online as well as for other children) can be picked up curbside at the high school East Entrance on Fridays, between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Due to non-school days falling on some Fridays in October, here are the pickup days: October 2, 8, 14, 23, and 30.
