    More than 60 Eden Prairie High School seniors were presented with scholarship awards from community organizations at the recent Celebration of Excellence.

    The evening event was held in the Performing Arts Center at the high school on May 16.

    “I’m grateful to have the opportunity to celebrate the success of our seniors,” Principal Nate Gibbs said, as he opened the ceremony.

    He added, “Tonight is not just a celebration of their success but also a celebration of the power of community pulling together to uplift and support the next generation.”
