A note for students and parents-
Greetings!
It has been a wonderful start to the year! The back-to-school energy has been awesome and a great reminder of why we do what we do! Thank you for trusting us with your most prized possessions!
Next week the high schools have Open House. We will hold our Open House the following week, on September 2nd, 6PM-8PM, in order to not conflict with the high schools.
For our open house, we do not follow a formal schedule but instead, have the building and classrooms open for parents (and students, if they wish) to walk through from 6PM-8PM.
Please note:
- We have several teachers that travel between schools and will not be present for the evening but will leave informational handouts at their door.
- For College Credit Plus, the majority of college credit plus is taught by visiting adjuncts and will not be available for the evening but a table will be set-up for College Credit Plus questions.
- If program-specific information is necessary that will be sent directly to applicable students and parents.
Thanks!
Julie, Mark, and Lori

Library Learning Center
We have a library on the third floor. This Library learning Center is led by our Librarian, Dr. Henderson Murphy. She helps support Emerald Campus in a variety of roles and is a great resource for students. The Writing Center can help with process, revision, and questions about research and citation. The center supports students but does not edit.
She is available on the following dates to help with writing tasks during the following times:
Monday and Wednesday 8:15-10:30
Thursdays 2:30-4:00
*As students begin to volunteer the hours may expand.
We also welcome Writing Center Volunteers. Any students interested in volunteering or interning should contact Dr. Peggy Henderson Murphy.
Additionally, we have a Makerspace in the library and a Woodshop space on the first floor.
On Mondays, the Makerspace is open to students 2:30 until 4:00.
On Wednesday, the Woodshop is open between 2:30 and 4:00 to help students who would like to work on woodworking projects.
