News from Eagle Bend's Past


25 Years Ago

March 22, 2000

A very dedicated group of seniors at Eagle Valley High School has created a senior video that has caught the special moments of high school life on tape. The senior video concept began as a class project in the writing for fun class offered in the 1999 fall semester. The project was then completed through the media/writing class offered spring semester 2000. The students that diligently worked on the project and carried it through to get it onto the final tape were: Abby Weber, Andy Pontius and Kyle Greene. Some of the other students involved were Holly Grewe, Jessica Serbus, Charlie Booker and John Kassube.

When school begins this fall at the Eagle Valley High School, two familiar faces will be missing. At the school board’s meeting, the resignations of Tom Jacobson and Gabe Rapatz were accepted. Jacobson has been the school’s counselor for the past 11 years. Rapatz has taught science classes in the elementary and the high school for a number of years. He was recently featured in the Star Tribune as one of the oldest educators still teaching in Minnesota. His resignation was accepted, with regrets.
