2025 Eagle Excellence Showcase Recap
On October 4, 2025, more than 175 members of the Eden Prairie community came together for the Eagle Excellence Showcase - an unforgettable evening celebrating all that makes Eden Prairie Schools exceptional.
The inaugural event, co-hosted by Eden Prairie Schools and the Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools (FEPS), reimagined the district’s annual fundraiser by bringing together several awards presentations and recognitions into one celebratory evening. Superintendent Dr. Josh Swanson welcomed guests before introducing the event’s emcee, State Senator Steve Cwodzinski, a longtime Eden Prairie High School government and history teacher.
Featured awards and recognitions included FEPS’ Legacy Award recipients and nominees, district teacher and staff achievements, and the induction of the inaugural class of the Eden Prairie Schools Hall of Fame. In addition to the awards presentations, guests enjoyed supporting the district by bidding on silent and live auction items.
The event was made possible through the generous support of sponsors Hallberg Engineering, Inc., Security Bank & Trust Co., Finalsite, and Twin Cities Photobooth.
