Spartan Times
This is Spartan Territory! September 2020 Issue I
Message from our Principal Scruggs Smith
College Corner
Hello Students and Parents,
Welcome to the 20-21 school year. While we are all coping with unprecedented circumstances we will do our best to move forward and achieve our goals.
College trips have become a staple student experience at Emery HS. While we are unable to visit Colleges and Universities in person at this time, we will continue to expose our students to higher education through virtual tours.
We are also happy to welcome back our college advisor Bianca Herrera from the DCAC/EAOP program who will be working with our students to prepare them for college readiness.
While a fair amount of attention is given to the senior class during the months of Oct and November to prepare them for graduation and college, we will still offer enrichment programs and activities for the rest of our student body. I am working behind the scenes on several projects/events for students and will send this information out to students and parents as they become solidified. As a reminder, please check your emails as communication through this platform has increased.
All the Best,
Mr. McIntosh

- September 15 to October 15 is when we celebrate Latino Heritage Month! It is a time to recognize the contributions and influence of our Latinx ancestors. It was started as a week long celebration by Congress in 1968 and was expanded to a month long celebration in 1988. The celebration coincides with several Latin American countries national independence days (Belize, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, & Nicaragua).
