The Parents of the Class of 2012 Needs Your Help. Consider being a Sponsor or Donate to the Senior Party

The Edina Senior Party  is a very special Edina tradition where parents of seniors contribute endless time, talent and financial support honoring the EHS seniors at an all night celebration. This event is held at the High School immediately following the graduation ceremony.

This is not only a cherished tradition, but is also 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. But..more than that, the party is nothing less than spectacular and gives the graduates on their last night of high school a night they will never forget.

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. Parents and other volunteers help 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,  cash donations, or goods and services.
