Homecoming 2002 Written in the Stars Eastview High School’s Sixth Annual Homecoming Celebration took place September 16-21. The week started with the crowning of a new King and Queen at Monday morning’s Royalty Coronation. 26 royalty court members were honored during the assembly and seniors Megan Sutliff and Jason Cermak saw their names “written in the stars” as they were selected by the EVHS student body to reign as King and Queen throughout the week. The Outdoor Movie drew a record crowd, as close to 500 people came to watch The Princess Bride on the big screen, drive-in style. Although students didn’t watch from their cars, many made themselves comfortable on sofas, recliners, bean bags and blankets. The Dance Team Booster Club was the hit of the night, selling 100 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to movie-goers! Tuesday night’s Soccer Sh’Bang also drew a crowd. Spirit, prizes and giveaways from local area businesses got the fans cheering as the girls’ and boys’ soccer teams took on Bloomington Jefferson. Prize giveaways at the volleyball game on Thursday night were also a hit. The culminating pepfest on Friday afternoon brought an end to the weeklong fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Six EVHS faculty members vied for the title in the third annual Kiss the Pig contest. In the end, $1000 was donated as Mr. Todd Hering and Mr. Charlie Hokkanen puckered up for charity! The festivities started early on Friday night as fans came out for the new and improved Homecoming Tailgating Party. DJ music, a rock climbing wall, Velcro wall, spirit sales and games were just a few of the booths lining the Lightning Plaza outside the stadium. A record crowd of over 4000 fans cheered on as the Lightning defeated the Eagan Wildcats on the football field. Homecoming 2002 came to a close with the dance on Saturday night. Over 1000 dance-goers rocked the night away. The weeklong celebration was fast and fierce – what a way to kick off a new school year!

Can I take them more than once? What are their differences? How do I register? The ACT is the most commonly accepted college entrance exam in the United States; however, most colleges will accept both ACT and SAT. There are some colleges that will only accept the ACT. Please check with the college or with your counselor on which test you should take. Our advice is if you plan to attend a four-year college, definitely take the ACT during the spring of your junior year. You may take both tests if you are looking at a wide variety of schools, particularly on the east coast. Senior Year Checklist September ______ If necessary, complete the application for taking the ACT or SAT unless you are satisfied with your previous score. The test should be taken in September or October. ______ Use the DISCOVER Program to investigate post-high school options. ______ Fill out applications if interested in military ROTC programs or Academies.

Deadline September 27 November 1 December 23 February 28 March 28 May 2 College entrance exams may be taken more than once. Most colleges will take the higher of the two scores. Some schools will start averaging scores if the test is taken more than two times; however many will continue to take the higher test. The ACT is an achievement test that measures: English, math, science, and reading. The four tests are averaged together to determine the over-all composite score which can range from 1-36. The SAT is an aptitude test that measures verbal and math aptitudes. Each test is scored on a scale of 200-800. To register for either test, a student may stop by the guidance office to pick up a registration application as well as a practice exam booklet. The application is to be filled out and mailed directly to the testing agency in the envelope that is provided. Don’t forget to include a check or money order for the appropriate fee. You will be asked to provide a testing code for Eastview High School. Our testing code for all tests is: 242-123. The testing agency will communicate directly with you on items such as test location, test admission ticket, and any missing items or fees. 4 ______ Schedule a meeting with your counselor to discuss high school credits and post-high school plans. ______ Visit those post-high school institutions in which you have an interest.

Based on the playwright’s own experience in a high school government class experiment, a new teacher helps students learn about the principles of the U. S. Constitution through role playing. Things get a bit strange when the game begins to take a number of unexpected and humorous twists as both audience and characters learn a little more than they want to know about how the system operates; it becomes a little too real for comfort! Join us for a high-energy whirlwind of memorable characters in a fresh new play! Tickets are $7.00 for adults and $5.00 for students/senior citizens.
