Legacy Awards
We all know it takes a "village" to raise and educate a child. In Eden Prairie Schools countless individuals positively impact the lives of our children and the commitment to excellence of our District - many of whom go unrecognized.
The Eden Prairie Schools Legacy Awards were established in 2008 by the Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools (FEPS) to honor outstanding teachers, staff, students, volunteers and alumni. FEPS believes it is important to honor those who contribute to the success and reputation of our school district.
