Link Crew Application

Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience.  Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, Link Crew trains members of the junior and senior class to be Link Leaders.  As positive role models, Link Leaders are motivators, leaders and teachers who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school.

Link Crew increases freshmen success; more and more studies are showing that if students have a positive experience their first year in high school, their chances for success are exponential.  The Link Crew high school transition program provides the structure for freshmen to receive support and guidance from juniors and seniors who have been through the challenges that high school poses, and understand that the transition to a larger school can sometimes be overwhelming.

Link Crew's goal is to provide your schools with a structure in which students make real connections with each other.  Through this program, students learn that people at school care about them and their success.  Link Crew is the high school transition program that will increase attendance, decrease discipline referrals and improve academic performance at your school.

Beyond Curriculum - National Art Honor Society
Art extends beyond the classroom at EHS, through the National Art Honor
Society (NAHS), an honor and service organization sponsored by the National
Art Education Association. EHS and its two sister schools host three of
the dozen or so Minnesota chapters of NAHS. Students become members of NAHS
by invitation, having met national standards. A few examples of NAHS activities
include the following:

• Painting an exterior mural at Glacier Hills Elementary School
• Painting of advertisements for the baseball outfield wall
• Doing backdrops and set paintings for various EHS television and theater
  productions, including Encore" and "Music Man"
• Teaching at the Zoo
• Visiting the St. Olaf College Art department during their High School
  Arts Day
• Attending a workshop at Minneapolis College of Art and Design as part
  of the Scholastic Arts Awards Program
• Wall painting at the Eagan Ice Arena and at the Eagan Police Department
• Face painting at a variety of community events

NAHS students love to share their enthusiasm and talent in Art and welcome
opportunities to serve the community. Each year the students raise scholarship
money to be offered, through the Eagan Foundation, to one NAHS student who
plans to pursue a career in Art. Students may earn an EHS letter in Art
by accumulating NAHS service hours.

The object and purposes of the NBEA National Business Honor Society (NBHS), is to: promote and recognize academic achievement in business education at Eagan High School; foster and recognize leadership skills and character development; help members grow ethically and socially by promoting and encouraging an interest in business; and encourage member involvement in service learning initiatives.

To apply for NBHS – Students must be juniors. They must have completed or be currently enrolled in their third business course. They must have a minimum standard GPA, on a 4.0 scale, as follows: business courses average-3.5; overall average‑3.0. Once accepted, students will pay a $30 initiation fee. Applications are accepted during January and February – watch for Schoology messages.
