Emerson Junior High School is one of our local schools. They integrate English and Spanish into the curriculum, producing bi-lingual children.
Notice the elephant shaped bush at the entrance to the school. It also has a large student-produced mural on the side of its gymnasium. Over 200 students worked on it at one time or another. Both works of art seem to generally withstand graffiti and vandalism which is something to note. The mural was graffitied in 2005
Near the end of the school year 7th and 8th graders have a Day on the Green when the 9th graders go on the 9th grade trip. Due to the design of the campus it is the site for Grad Night, the lock in celebration for graduating seniors.
Rita Hosking of the Mad Cow String Band taught (teaches?) here.
