What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, October 7, 2012

I attended EMS from k-8th grade and it was really an amazing place to be brought up. The class sizes were small enough and it really felt like a community in the school. Everyone knew everyone and I was actually in the largest class that passed through there, totaling 36 students. We had a great education and everyone was able to get the help they needed. I wish that the classroom culture had more variety, as growing up, we had 98% white students in the classroom. I believe it's slowly changing, however, which is a good thing. Go Wildcats!
