NCAA Registration

Students may register at any time, but we recommend that they register during their sophomore year. The registration website is www.eligibilitycenter.org. The NCAA Eligibility Center will evaluate a student’s academic credentials once the following information has been received, and the student has had his/her status requested by an NCAA member institution:

Vocational Trade Schools

Trade schools in Minnesota prepare learners for high-wage, high-demand careers in diverse sectors. While vocational education prepares students for jobs in both traditional trade positions such as plumbing, auto mechanic, and electrician, and more modern vocations involving robotics, cybersecurity, and engineering.

Career Technical Education

Transcript Request

The legal record or proof of your high school education is called an official transcript. You will need this when entering college, job opportunities, identification replacement, etc. 

NOTE: The release of a student transcript requires a signed request from the student (or the parent/legal guardian if the student is under 18 years old). A telephone call will not release your records. There is a $5.00 fee per transcript. Your check or money order may be made payable to Edina High School.

The official transcript will be stamped with the high school seal and must be kept in the sealed envelope for the transcript to remain official.

Special Education records including IEP's evaluations and assessments are located in Special Education Services at the District Office. Please call 952-848-4959.

Military Academies

For students who would like to experience a military environment while getting a first-class education, these 5 service academies offer an outstanding education and full 4-year scholarship including fully paid tuition, books, room and board, and medical and dental care. Admission into these academies is highly competitive. The admissions criteria include:

  • Outstanding high school academic performance
  • Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT)
  • Athletics and extracurricular activities
  • Leadership experience and community involvement
  • Congressional letter of recommendation (not required by the Coast Guard Academy)

It is important to understand all of the requirements early so you have time to accomplish all the necessary components. Graduates of all 5 academies receive a Bachelor of Science degree and are commissioned officers in their respective Branch. In all cases, there is a service obligation of a minimum of 5 years. In the United States, there are five military training academies, which are sometimes collectively known as the “Five-Pointed Star.” If you’re unsure which branch of the military to pursue, you can explore the history, admissions procedures, and eligibility requirements for each at their respective websites.
