Brightly colored, creatively executed student artwork has long adorned the ceiling tiles of the Eden Prairie High School (EPHS) art room. Now, the EPHS alumni who painted the artworks are invited to collect them by May 31, in advance of upcoming renovations at the high school.

About 135 paintings dating as far back as 1999 and as recently as 2014 are currently being stored at the school district’s Administrative Services Center at 8100 School Road during business hours. Many of the paintings have student names and dates on them, but most do not.

Eden Prairie Schools is hoping that former EPHS art students or their families will see their artwork in this article and will contact the district to come pick it up. Anyone with questions can contact the district at (952) 975-7000.
