Families
"What struck me immediately when our family came to EMS was how wonderful the parent body was. They are the hidden treasure of EMS: warm, generous, and always ready to volunteer and lend their hands to a cause."

Roland Davis, Parent
Alumni
"I love being able to share EMS traditions with my children, whether it is the kindergarten circus or the fun of Field Day; it is a wonderful feeling to experience the same traditions I loved so much with my own kids. I like the way the school has been able to positively evolve through the years, and look forward to all of the new and exciting things to come!"
