EPCGT Site Reps
For each of our school sites, we have EPCGT site reps who are members of our board who have volunteered to act as communication liaisons between our group and the gifted staff at their school site, and to provide support for the gifted staff and for any member parents who would like another parent to talk to. Please feel free to contact them; we all understand the need for someone to listen. If you are looking for specific information they don’t have, they will do their best to get the answers for you. For names and phone numbers of site reps and other board members, as well as e-mail links, please see the Board and Site Reps page.

Academic Clubs/Activities
Eden Prairie High School has a wealth of academic clubs and activities. Many of them are constant year after year, but some may come and go depending on student interest. A student who wishes to start a new club should find other students with the same interest and a teacher who is willing to be an advisor, and then speak to Nancy Schmitt in the Student Activities Office about adding it to the roster. EPHS Activities holds an Activities Rush on a Wednesday before school (during zero hour - generally late September) where students can walk around to different activities tables to find out more about what is available and to add their names to the contact lists of clubs they are interested in. Department offices or resource centers such as Band, Business & Marketing and Math, are good places to go to get information.
