Intramural Sports

EPHS offers several intramural opportunities for students in grades 9-12 with the purpose of providing a safe, enjoyable environment for students of any skill level to participate in a variety of recreational activities. The activities offered are based on student interest and the facilities available for use. Co-ed student involvement is strongly encouraged in most activities. The intramural department is open to any suggestions from students regarding other activities that should be offered.

School-Sponsored Clubs

Composed of students with similar interests and created with the backing and sponsorship of Eden Prairie High School. They have a direct tie to a classroom course or an established presence within EPHS. Each group has a staff advisor who guides the club and provides direction and leadership for the group in conjunction with the student leadership. School-sponsored clubs can meet before or after school and host events during the school day. School-sponsored clubs will have access to their own Schoology page, Fund 11 account for fundraising, and a stipend for staffing.

Advisor Roles & Responsibilities

Student Interest Clubs

Led by students. These clubs provide the opportunity for EPHS students to meet during non-instructional time. Students are required to obtain a staff member to oversee the meeting of the club. Student interest clubs will meet during "Flex time" on Tuesdays during the school year. Student interest clubs must apply annually to maintain their charter status. As these are student-led clubs, the beliefs and viewpoints are not necessarily representative of Eden Prairie High School or District 272. Student-led clubs will have access to their own Schoology page to post upcoming meeting dates, time, location, and other club related info. Student-led clubs may not host fundraisers or events, sell tickets or items to the public or the student body. In order to post a flyer for this school year please fill out this link poster request form.
