Message from the Superintendent
Greetings Emery community,
During Black History Month, we celebrate the excellence within our community and beyond. Let's inspire our students to strive for greatness and continue to make remarkable strides in academics.
We have great news about our improved standardized testing scores and attendance rate! Testing scores in Math and English Language Arts improved, as well as attendance! These achievements testify to our educators, parents, guardians, and community partners' dedication to student success.
We eagerly anticipate further progress! I look forward to celebrating our schools’ achievements in the coming months. Together, we demonstrate that our students can achieve anything they set their minds to. Thank you for our students, educators, and school district community's unwavering support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Quiauna Scott
Superintendent
Excellence - Equity - Engagement - We are #EmeryStrong!
Fun at the Academic Rally
We are proud to celebrate the ongoing progress and achievements of our students! Every semester, teachers nominate standout performers in their classes, recognizing their dedication and academic excellence. The recognition is an opportunity to highlight the exciting journey of learning and growth.
Students represent their classes in friendly competition at our academic rally. From freshmen to seniors, everyone participates in academic challenges that test their knowledge across various subjects. Teams work together to answer questions, fostering collaboration and critical thinking skills. The ultimate prize is the coveted championship belt, awarded to the class with the most correct answers.
Congratulations to the 12th grade class for winning the belt this time!
Celebrating Student Achievement
We celebrate our students’ incredible growth and progress! Each step forward is worth recognizing and honoring, and we are proud of every student’s journey and determination. Recognized students recently received individualized cakes and certificates to celebrate their hard work.
