Dave Chilson, Principal
EMS is a safe, diverse, and accepting environment which enables all students to attain academic and social success. We are home of the pirates and we are Safe, Respectful, and Responsible (SR2). Our goal is to collaborate with families and the community to create a positive and supportive culture. As a parent, you can be involved by monitoring students grades, personal technology devices, the EMS website, and communicating with the staff as needed.
Let's work together throughout the year to ensure all of our students are provided the highest quality of education possible in a safe and supported learning environment!
