In the fall of 2022, Edison will be celebrating our centennial anniversary. In our almost 100 year history, we have maintained a deeply rooted relationship with the Northeast Minneapolis community that is still vibrant today. We are well supported by our neighbors, including longstanding financial support from the Northeast Lions Club and the Edison Community and Sports Foundation. Our green campus and public artwork have been developed in partnership with the Holland Neighborhood Association.

While we are located geographically in Northeast Minneapolis, we proudly enroll students from all over the city of Minneapolis, especially Northeast, Southeast, and North Minneapolis.

Notable recent graduates include U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, current City Councilmember Kevin Reich, and MN State Senator Kari Dziedzik, and entrepreneur Precious Drew.
