Celebrating Our 8th Graders
Englewood Middle School Continuation, Class of 2024
Dear Parents and Families~
With the end of the school year approaching, a new challenge remains: how to close the school year at a distance AND celebrate our amazing 8th graders as they prepare for high school.
Wishing you peace and health as we head into summer.
With Gratitude for all of you,
Annessa Hart
Principal, Englewood Middle School
Dear 8th Graders~
You have been great friends and partners through your middle school years. And your efforts during remote learning didn't fall short! Everything great we know about you stayed true, even during this difficult time. You are kind and considerate, humble and loyal, and all-around amazing individuals. As an entire class, you make our school a better place.
During Chromebook collection on May 20th, we will also have your continuation certificate as well as other awards and memorabilia available for you. You can purchase and pick up your yearbook at that time as well.
We applaud you for the amazing mark of pride and dedication you are leaving on EMS. And now...on to summer, and then the exciting adventure of high school!!
GO PIRATES! Leave your mark on the world and always be proud of who you are and where you are going!
AVID--Advancement Via Individual Determination
Our AVID students began their journey in seventh grade when each of them endured a rigorous application and interview process that demonstrated their individual determination and dedication to their future goals. The year that followed was filled with hard work, field trips, goal setting, personal reflection, and blossoming friendships as these students became part of our EMS AVID family. Along the way each of our AVID students has grown both academically and socially.
One of the most important aspects of AVID is individual determination. It is hard work to achieve lofty goals, and each of our AVID students has put in time and effort to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be a successful student today and into high school and college.
Each of these students has a tremendous amount of strength and potential, and we are confident that they’ll accomplish great things in the future. Our AVID program is only as strong as our AVID students, and we so proud of all the hard work and tenacity shown by our AVID Eights this year.

The E-Pin Award
The E-Pin is a long-standing tradition for Englewood Middle School that dates back to a time when EMS didn't exist and instead the two middle schools--Flood and Sinclair--handed out this award. The E-Pin is awarded to two students who demonstrate leadership by being a positive influence on groups and individuals, accept responsibility for their actions and show a growth mindset each and every day. The student must also demonstrate service by giving generous amounts of time and energy, in and out of school.
Students are nominated by the EMS staff--this list is full of some amazing individuals.
Our nominees are:
Aztlan Bonilla Medina
Victoria Chavez
Dominic Dever
Mohamed Fadulelsaeed
Nazira Garrett
Beau Gilland
Stella Hapke
Vinh Tuong Ho
Maxwell Leflar
