School hours

Eagan High runs 7:40 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Our lessons run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., depending on the instructor, so after school, evenings and weekends all work around classes, practices and jobs.

Pickup or meet at school

Roads your student already knows

Braddock Trail, Diffley Road, Pilot Knob, Yankee Doodle, Lexington Avenue, I-35E and Cliff Road. We teach on the roads your student drives to school and back.

After the license

Driving to Eagan High: student parking

The goal for most teens isn't just the license. It's driving themselves to school. Here's what Eagan High School says about student parking.

Eagan High School parking

  • Parking tags are $80 a trimester (winter 2026-27), paid on EduTrak.
  • Seniors apply first. Juniors get permits by lottery. Sophomores aren't eligible.
  • Students submit a photo of themselves with the car, showing the license plate.
  • Unpaid parking tickets block the next trimester's purchase.

Plan backward from the parking lot

A student under 18 must hold the permit at least six months and be 16 before the road test. If your teen wants to drive to school by a certain trimester or semester, start the classroom and the Blue Card early enough to get there.

Text us your target date and we'll map out the timing.

Parking details come from the school's own published information as of November 2026 and can change. Always confirm with the school.
