From the Principal

As we make our way into 2nd semester and springtime, I'd like to provide a couple reminders so that the year continues successfully. As we move into Session 6, it is critical that students continue to make adequate progress by attending regularly and passing classes. Students who are not showing adequate progress may be withdrawn from Emerson High School and need to return to their neighborhood school.

If you have questions or concerns about your student's progress, please contact her/his advisor (email addresses for staff are on the last page of the newsletter).

National AAUW gives over $3 million to women in scholarships and fellowships annually. In addition, branches within our state give thousands more in local college scholarships.
