On Wednesday, November 9th, Eagan High School held its 10th annual Veterans Day assembly in the main gymnasium. The event started at 9:00 a.m. and lasted 50 minutes. This year’s guest speaker was Johnny Wadsworth, a 2004 Eagan graduate, who served in Iraq. The event concluded with a special announcement from 2016 – 2017 student body co-president Sam Kenefick: The 100-yard stretch of road at Eagan High School’s east entrance, which has remained nameless for the past 27 years, is being named “LCpl Daniel R Olsen Drive.” The designation is in honor of Lance Corporal Daniel Olsen, a 2005 Eagan graduate who was killed by enemy fire on April 2nd, 2007.

Outstanding event presented by the Eagan H.S. staff and students recognizing military service members and veterans . Thank you. The attentiveness and respect shown by the large student body in attendance was superlative beyond compare. The future is indeed bright when we see such great young people at their best. Also they must be very well led by excellent faculty and staff.
