This year, the school’s leadership (in both the Athletic Department and among student leadership groups) devoted themselves to the theme of “Eagle Pride.” This theme revolves around far more than winning and losing. Its core tenets are teamwork, integrity and ethics. By focusing with these premises in mind, our student body has displayed tremendous sportsmanship while
maintaining a positive experience for all student athletes.

The Battle For the Apple -- Apple Valley teams-up with neighboring school Two high schools in one city. That can be a recipe for football programs. The dance teams, the cheer teams, and disaster in high school athletics. If a rivalry is allowed to be the booster clubs from each school work together in an a negative, dividing force, the opportunity for life lessons can be lost. At Apple Valley High School we have chosen to work together with our neighboring school in a positive manner. Nowhere is this more evident than in the “Battle for the Apple.” Here,
effort to illustrate to the entire community the true value
“The real winner was cancer research”
the football teams from Apple Valley High School and Eastview High School come together not only to play a game but to raise awareness and financial support for cancer research. It is not, however, limited to the
of teamwork and unity that can be gleaned from interscholastic sports. Through this event, over $7000 was raised and donated to the “Tackle Cancer” fund. By
promoting “teamwork”, not only with members of their immediate team but with members of their community, Eagle Pride was on display throughout the fall.

IDE R P E EAGL Superfans Working Together The Apple Valley Fan base was out in full force during the 2013-14 season. Whether at home or on the road, the “AV Superfans” worked as one to add to the positive environment and energy that can only be found in high school athletics.
Apple Valley Competition Cheer The Apple Valley Competition Cheer team work together to raise funds in order to purchase gifts for families in need during the holiday season.
Wrestling Team Builds Dreams Members of the Apple Valley High School Wrestling team took time away from their off-season training to help others in need. They volunteered their time to work for Habitat for Humanity. This organization is devoted to building affordable housing for those in need in the metro area.
Apple Valley Football Braving below zero temperatures, members of the Apple Valley Football team jumped into Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis for the annual Polar Bear Plunge. With over $6000 going to the Special Olympics, the team worked together to generate as much involvement as possible.
“Honestly, the hardest part isn’t that AV lost. It’s the realization that for us seniors, that will probably be the last time we are involved in that big of a section.” Sydney Gilbertson AV Senior and Superfan
Volunteering their time throughout the school year, the Eagle Media Crew, under the direction of Mr. Cliff Dodge, provide coverage of AVHS events across the spectrum. Whether it was football, hockey, choir, National Signing Day or adapted softball, Eagle Media was there to present “Eagle Pride” to the world.
Integrity Ethics Apple Valley Students showed their unity with Lakeville North High school following the death of a North junior
Integrity and Ethics -- A Tragedy Brings Together Two Schools The loss of Lakeville North junior Alyssa Ettl struck home for students at AVHS There are experiences in life that words cannot reflect. While all loss brings sadness and challenges for those who loved the person, the loss of a young and vibrant high school student can be devastating. When Lakeville North High School student Alyssa Ettl died in a car accident, Apple Valley High School students leaped into action. They reached

out to their neighbors at another school, trying to provide comfort in their time of loss. At many sporting events during this difficult time, they lead the way with signs of remembrance and moments of silence. Members of the AVHS Captains Council did all of this without the prompting or direction from adults. They did this because they are students of integrity. Alyssa was an athlete and an honor student. In her, many of our students saw themselves. They
honored her life and her school simply by showing they cared.
“What a wonderful tribute to Alyssa! As the parent of a Lakeville North student, I can tell you that this is hitting the students and staff at the school very hard. Seeing a tribute that's so well done, from people that didn't know h e r, i s t o u c h i n g a n d impressive.”
The Apple Valley High School community is committed to challenge all individuals to realize their potential as learners by providing high quality and diverse opportunities for intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, and physical growth.
