Collin Westgard builds and refurbishes computers out of his parents' garage—then he donates them to families in need across the community.
Even in preschool, Collin Westgard had an affinity for computers. "At age four, he was the kid in the room who would rather help someone else play on the computer or work on it, than play with the blocks," his mother, Kathleen, remembers. Westgard, now a 15-year-old freshman at Eagan High School, still loves tinkering with computers and helping others—two traits that have earned him a special shout-out from Eagan Mayor Mike Maguire and the Eagan City Council. That's because Westgard, who works out of his parents' garage in Eagan, is using his skills to build and donate computers to local students. As if that wasn't enough, he also provides free tech support to elderly computer owners in the community. "With youth like this, and parents …

Blue Twilight—and its robotic creation—will compete on April 24-27 at an international event in St. Louis, Mo.
Extraordinarily gratifying. That's how Jim Lynch, the faculty advisor for the Eagan High School FIRST Robotics Team, describes how it felt when his team earned its first Chairman's Award at a recent regional competition. The coveted recognition, long sought by Eagan's robotics team, automatically qualifies the group for the FIRST Robotics international championship held in St. Louis on April 24-27. At that event, a robot constructed by EHS students working in tandem with adult mentors will compete against other team's creations in a challenging task devised by the FIRST Robotics program. Since 2008, the team has had its sights set on the Chairman's Award, which is given to the team that most exemplifies the values and mission of the …

Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, in partnership with Kohl's Cares, awarded the school a $3,000 prize following its annual contest.
A quirky public safety announcement video created by Eagan High School students earned first place and a $3,000 prize in the Kohl's Cares and Childrens Flu Prevention PSA Video Contest. Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, in partnership with Kohl's Cares, broke the news with an announcement on April 1. Eagan High School beat out Minnehaha Academy and Mahtomedi High School in the contest, which was determined by online votes. The Eagan video, crafted by the students of Mr. Saxton's health class, follows a day in the life of a sick Eagan student struggling to get through a school day. During the 90-second clip, a personified version of the virus creates havoc at the high school as it flips cafeteria trays, interrupts a quiz and …

In a separate incident, a man accidentally fired his handgun inside his apartment. The bullet pierced three walls. That and more on the Eagan police blotter.
Police responded to a drunkenness call at a gas station on the 4200 block of Hwy. 13 at 4:40 a.m. on March 17.

The high school kicked off the food drive last week in honor of Food Share Month.
A six-day food drive at Eagan High School brought in 2,250 food items and $4,500 in donations, according to food drive coordinator Jane Lee. Eagan students kicked off the food drive last week in honor of Food Share Month. As part of the drive, the school's 100 homerooms were divided into 25 teams, which competed in a day-to-day competition. Participants were asked to bring food products centered around daily themes; last Thursday, for example was designated "Veggie Tales" day, and students collected vegetables to match the theme. The winning team will receive breakfast sponsored by the high school's student government, which organized the drive. Student government members helped process and box items each day in the library—and many …

The School District 196 band programs need your help providing instruments to families unable to afford their own saxophone, trumpet or other instrument.
Editor's Note: The following is a press release from Eagan High School. The "Band For All" program in ISD 196 provides instruments for students who'd like to be a part of our Instrumental Music program, but cannot afford an instrument. If you have an instrument sitting around your house, please consider donating it to this program. (Another great need is cash to repair donated instruments.) BFA Coordinator, Angela Wyatt, reports that they are currently running very low of instruments and the requests are beginning to exceed supply. The effect of this shortage will immediately affect the beginners program, which trickles down to the middle school and eventually the high school. All of this affects the future health of our entire district …
