Support the Party

The senior party is a very special Edina tradition where parents of seniors contribute much needed volunteer time, talent and financial support honoring the EHS seniors at an all night celebration, the evening of graduation. This is not only a cherished tradition, it is an event with a purpose. At its origin in the 1950’s, Edina was a leader in the United States, creating the first all-night “lock-in” graduation party to keep students safe and off the roads on a night that often lends itself to recklessness.

Financial support is crucial to the success of the party.  This is a self funded event that receives no money from the school district.  In addition to proceeds from fundraising, a per student fee will be charged to every student that attends the party. The fee to attend the party is $85.
 
Parents and other volunteers contribute much time and effort to raise the additional funds needed to create this special night. This additional funding is raised in various ways through-out the school year. You can support the party through sponsorship, participation in a fundraiser, or donations of cash, goods or services.  Please visit the tabs at the left for more information.
