Tech Futures at Emery HS
We are looking for student volunteers to help make the old timers at Emery get up to speed. Earn community service hours for graduation and build your own capacity, as a student tech support person for the upcoming school year. Impinge being able to help a teacher project, a student connect and a visitor capable of getting online or printing out something of need. You must have the grades for this task (open to all grade levels) because you may be called out during a class to help one of our tech challenges become tech victory!
Senior Solutions on Civics Night 2026
Senior Kevin Herrera along with 36 other members of the class of 2026 took the opportunity to make Civics Night matter to the lives of his peers and his adult audience. Each student picked a local issue, reflected on why it matters to them, reviews what systems are already in place, and then wraps up with new or creative approaches to solving the problem. In Kevin's address, he spoke for the need for Career Technical Education (CTE) and in the same room, we heard from students advocating for better safety procedures on site, the value of building protective spaces in the city for animals, the need for financial literacy courses for high school and more. An impressive night!
Our City needs your Help!
The city of Emeryville runs on the good spirits of its citizens, and that commitment begins now. We are looking for high school students to stand and deliver this summer and beyond. Reach out to the good people listed above and find an adventure that works best for you. If you have the time, and the interest, you. can be put to service with the Senior Center or the Parks or the Recreation department. All of this is great community service work, and will earn you the hours you need toward graduation. But mostly it is doing good for those in need, and it doesn't get much more civic minded than that!

E is For Excellence
Varsity athletes are the Best. If you make it to the end of your season, maintaining grades and displaying best sportsmanship, you are in line to win a Varsity letter. This Fall, it is all about Football, Cheer, Volleyball and Cross Country. We are rooting for eligibility, work ethics and success for all the Spartans. You will recognize them by their letters.
Lights, Camera, Action
Ms. Crichlow's Digital Photography class keeps getting better. The students are being introduced to the concept of mastering light in order to get the best shots. Here is an opening day assignment, where students are being tasked to first set up their digital cameras, then work with filters, and place the object of their attention in a flattering light. Add filters, and shadows and you've got something to be proud of. And this is just the beginning of another winning project developing.
Be a part of something Honorable
Emery High School has been part of the California Scholarship Foundation since 1933. And during that time, it has asked students who are sophomores, juniors and seniors to demonstrate that they have earned good grades in their most academic courses. The due date is April 15, so grab an application form and get it filled out with your academic record and if you qualify, (and you can do so for all six semesters beginning sophomore year) you can earn special honors for graduation in addition to making a great boost to your resume.
English Learners at Redwood Regional
Kaleb and crew from Ms. Kamat's ELD program went out to Redwood Regional Park this week to capture the sights and sounds of the world around them, and then maximized the experience by doing some nature sketches of the flora and fauna around them. The students had a chance to work with their new English language skills to ask the questions and pose some theories based on their sharp observations.
One of our favorite calendar events of the year is here. It is the Art and Music Showcase, and it features all of the work that students have put in this year. Ms. Ruff and Ms. Crichlow's kids submit tons of great art, while Mr. Salvatore's band provides the soundtrack for a night to remember. We saw a terrific show that demonstrates that the Artist spirit is going to be part of our school for years to come. All three band units from the high school did a high level performances and with the addition of multiple arts classes, we had a full house to big in an auction to capture the spirit of our school
It's always the right time for Trigonometry
Emery has always made a big investment in math and if you want to know how big--just ask one of the students who can probably calculate it for you. We went visiting on the second day of this unit of study and Mr. Herrera put all hands on deck to show students that sine, cosine and the whole world of trig is not beyond the grasp of his hard working students. Our goal: to have every student math proficient by the time they walk the stage and even dreamier, that the students embrace and love the journey to get there.
Cooking Club makes Stuffed Pasta Shells so Good
Food Memories come to life
Mr. Maloles' Creative writing class was tasked to recreate some memories of a meaningful food memory, and wow, did sophomore Melody Hatch, knock it out of the part with this deep and emotional reminiscence of Mom's spaghetti. Go to Emery Ink and read this and other pieces put together during the school year by Emery High's best writers and photographers. We will publish another food memoir soon, and you will be reflecting back, we think, on moments of your own, when food and memory make sensory activation come to life.

Emery Earns sets school record on State Testing
The class of 2027 has set a high bar for future Spartan students. The early results from Spring's state testing is in and the Emery High juniors earned the highest percentage of Exceeding Standard in our school's history. The Advanced Level was achieved by 28% of Emery English test takers and 12% of Math testers, both numbers represent the highest proportion of high scores in the eleven year history of the CAASPP. We are thrilled with the results and credit teachers, Mx. Combs and Mr. Maloles' English and Mr. Herrera and Mr. Anthony in Math, and the crew who made this possible.
Next year's clubs today
Being part of a group is one of the best predicators for school success. Emery High is looking to bring students closer to others and to the community with an end of the year club drive. Both the Social Justice and the Car Club are looking for new members to wrap up this year and get ready for the next. We are excited to have both ready to recruit and grow in the future with on site and off campus events
Create the look for Emery HS 2026-27
We love to share the news at Emery High. We need a great artist who can get others to see what we can only dream of. We have clubs and sports and special events and fund raisers and more. And every one of those needs a fetching image or graphic to show how cool it is. If you know how to bring an idea to life, you are the student we need to see next year. Let principal Kibby know what your experience is, then get ready to be the school image creator. You can't spell Spartan without "art"
Make the future start when we return
Fall 2026 starts in Spring, with conditioning on the field for all of the autumn sports. Emery returns with coach Todd Kane-Ross for cross country and this time it is open to all grades 8-11, we will be continuing conditioning work throughout the Summer in preparation for our entry into the Tri County Athletic League for the new season. No experience necessary and the same holds true for our Fall Football and Volleyball tryouts. Make this a season to remember. We have an informational meeting on the track June 10th
Hands On Biology Work
Finals meant getting up close and personal in Ms. Susan's Biology class, here we see a pair of students getting to work dissecting and labeling the parts of a fetal pig to demonstrate knowledge of the inward workings of a creature to teach us about the science of life. This was just one of the applied exams we saw during the last week of school. So proud of everyone learning and gaining skills and content that they will take with them going forward.
Show Time(s)
Theater is back! And Emery High School did its part of the whole unified school district production of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" our first school play in years. Teacher, Mr. Woodruff has a crew of actors, stagehands and support staff, including work from our Art teachers making this magic moment come to life. We are proud of the young players who brought there story to stage, while looking forward to more and bigger productions in the years ahead.
Fridays feel the beat
We are going to celebrate every Friday in the Fall with a student DJ spinning tunes on the field. If you have the chops and the beats, then you can be the one putting the tunes into the final day of every week. We will host auditions the first few weeks until we find the young person who will be DJ Emery for all the students to find their Friday grooves
Library All Summer
Even when all that we have is Summer School, we have our friends at the public library offering enrichment and art all summer long. And summer starts early, with a trio of great craft projects happening this upcoming week. But if you miss out in June, you are going to have ample time to catch up in July. Make it a summer to remember and check out some books while you're there.
Where you are going....
Emery High School students ALL qualify for free bus transportation during the year. Did you know that until age 19, they also all qualify for free travel over the summer. Add that tp 50% off on BART and you are talking about a season to remember. Make sure to apply now, as it takes some time to process, but if you do, you will have a full license to travel wherever you need to be around the Bay for a very affordable (and Free!) cost
Summer Time is a great time to get Credits
This summer is the time to catch up on what you might have missed during the school year. Emery is going to be open for the Credit deficient starting Monday June 22 and running through Wednesday July 22. We will have all morning to do the work to be grade level ready when school resumes in the Fall. We are excited to have our credit recovery teacher specialist, Ms. Crichlow on the job, and she will be the teacher of record. Sign up with counselor, Mr. Ricky today to get your reserved seat for there summer.
Share our Fortune
Our final Food Giveaway of the year wasn't just an event, it was an absolute party! We had 81 feet of grocery-packed tables, a beautifully catered dessert and beverage spread, bubbles, balloons, and an incredible crew of volunteers meeting our families right at their point of need.
Our Impact at a Glance:
How are we doing? Let's find out this Fall
The University of California is debating about bringing back the SAT as an Admissions standard in the years to come. Emery wants to get ahead of the news and is going to ask our underclassmen to try their hand in the preparatory assessment, the PSAT this fall. There is an opportunity for elite juniors to earn scholarships with good scores. We are hoping to inspire all of our students to then be ready to take the SAT when it becomes a thing. Lastly, we are confident that they data we get about student success will help us to inform instruction for all of our Emery teachers too.
