Time capsules are made not just to preserve history but to create connections between past, present and future generations. Eagle High staff, clubs, sports teams and student council have been working hard for the past few months to make the idea of a time capsule a reality. 

The time capsule was originally thought of by vice principal Marc Lannon. This idea was taken to Superintendent Derek Bub and then to Eagle High student council for the next step…making it. 

Teacher Austin Rogerson took on the task of crafting the time capsule out of locally sourced Oregon maple wood.  

“What an absolute honor it was to craft this time capsule box for Eagle High School’s 30th Anniversary,” Rogerson said. “As a teacher at Eagle High, this project was especially meaningful knowing that this piece will hold memories, stories and snapshots of today, only to be opened three decades from now, fills me with immense pride. Imagining students and faculty in 2055 opening this box, reflecting on Eagle High School’s past and seeing how far the school has come is truly humbling.” 

To Lannon this time capsule is very meaningful to him.  

“We all have a lot of pride being an Eagle Mustang. Eagle High was a school I have always wanted to be a part of, and I feel blessed to be a part of their history,” Lannon said.  

Lannon has brought together many different groups such as sports teams, clubs and student council at Eagle High to make sure they leave their mark within the time capsule. Inside there are letters, the 30-year anniversary hype video, photos, football jerseys, medals, student surveys and more. Lannon explained that he wants this to be known about and wants students and staff to spread the word and be excited about this.  

“Being both a teacher, local business owner and woodworker made this project extra special—it’s a way to leave a lasting mark on a school and community that means so much to me. Here’s to 30 years of Eagle High history—and to the future that awaits when this box is finally opened,” Rogerson said.  

The time capsule will be on display in the main office until 2055, when it is then opened.
