Emerson is Growing!

Emerson has been growing significantly during the past few years. There have been 3 boundary changes that have increased our population from about 600 to 775.
We are not only growing in the number of students, but the school facility is expanding too. As you may know, we are in the beginning stages of construction on a series of 3 buildings that include classrooms and a new library. I have the plans in my office, if you would like to look at them, please stop in.
Emerson not only is getting larger, we are getting better. We have made significant academic gains over the past few years. By concentrating on good first instruction, academic coaching, training for teachers as well as a concerted effort to target our interventions, we have helped more students reach the State Standards. I'll share more information about our CST Results in a few weeks when they become official.
