Spartan debaters are going to State
Brayden and Beatrice just keep winning. The dynamic duo qualified already for the Bay Area Urban Debate League's National tournament just did something equally amazing this past weekend. Entered in the Golden Gate Speech Association's State Qualifier at James Logan High School, the Emery debaters went on a grueling eight round battle and came out with a 6-2 record against the elite schools of the San Francisco Bay Area and leave with a precious invite to the State Tournament next month at Logan. We thought we couldn't be more proud, but were mistaken. We are even prouder
Twice as much Opportunity
Twice a week, the school day extends by an hour or more to help our students help themselves. Tuesday and Thursday, teachers in most subjects stay after to assist students on assignments, allow them to retake tests or to do basic maintenance and support, allowing them to catch up, clarify cloudy concepts or even to get ahead. We are excited to launch the second semester support this Tuesday and Thursday and for the Tuesdays and Thursdays to follow.
Senior Moments are our Moments too
Every week on Wednesdays we are bringing our crew to the city's Senior center. Week one was great, a social gathering with arts and crafts. We are getting a little physical this upcoming week with a rousing game of pickle ball. Future agendas have board games, technology support and cooking classes. We are delighted to be part of learning and teaching at all ages.

Artist of the Week: Andrea Silva Aguilar
This brief focused on silhouettes, macro, and wide photography, and Adrea's submission truly stood out. She chose the macro category and delivered a stunning, detailed image that beautifully captures the intricacy and texture of her subject. Her work demonstrates strong technical skill, thoughtful composition, and a great eye for visual storytelling. Her creativity inspires exploring new techniques and perspectives.
Track Ready, set, go!
Here is Vikram Bal, sprinting to victory in what is becoming a regular thing for Emery track. The boys and girls have been very busy to finish February, competing in tournaments across the Bay. Multiple top three finishes for Emery at San Francisco State and the Skyline Invitational. Aaliyah Dawson, Sahib Singh, Garrett Mack, Mehki Dellavalade, Simar Singh all won top honors while senior Cameron Nguyen won double victories in the 100 and 200, while freshman Zyianna Ruffin did the same, a pair of victories in the same event for the ladies. Coach Todd is getting new recruits daily as Emery is loading up for a special season, and it's just begun.

We are excited to offer one senior the opportunity to wear the walkie talkie and roam the halls of Emery High School and serve our school as principal for a day. Imagine waking up early, unlocking bathrooms, sharing your face on the daily video announcements, doing some lunch duty, visiting classrooms and using your best judgement to make the right call. And if there is a game that night, we can make you the administrator in charge. Wait, you still want to do this? Great, send your request in to the momentary principal, Kibby before April 1. No fooling.
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.

Starting Spartan Softball with a Splash
Opening day is coming. Wednesday March 18 the Emery squad squares off against the Urban Blues. Our squad is filled with veteran leadership and spirited underclassmen. The one constant is that they would love to have you come out a day early, on Tuesday as part of their fundraiser to get the money to outfit them in style. We are going to be on the quad after school, looking for students and supporters willing to hoist a bucket or a balloon to soak a swinger. We are thrilled to be back, and if that back is a little wet to start the year, now you know why.
English Learners learn to market themselves
This intensive course about product development centers on students turning ideas into reality! Leveraging illustration, graphic design, advertisement and physical material to inform their creative product, students will create and debut their finished
products either physically or through a professional slide deck.This process of thinking can be interpreted across any industry as much of it comes down to organization and self direction. Read all about it
Emery Ink, our online school newspaper has a great story, written by Evan Long '26 about a band that had been forgotten by everyone only to get rediscovered almost twenty years later. A terrific tale, well told by our Spartan senior. Look for this tale and countless others to see what we are talking about, listening to, and hearing.
It is Teen Time Tuesday
Any Emery student who gets permission in advance is welcome to be part of our most welcoming space--the snazzy and stylish Teen Center located right on campus. The students will have days dedicated to each grade level. We have a lot of chill spaces and play spaces as well. But you need to be on the QR code and get your families OK; once done, you have access to everything the Teen center has to offer.
Next Up, Book Club chooses Spring novel
Emery has a great book for its last selection of the year, it is a murder mystery wrapped around a prep school and we don't know who did it or why. We can't wait to start but you will have to come by Principal Kibby's office to get your copy. Figure that is one mystery you don't have to solve.
Living the Dream
Rising Sun is a program that takes high schoolers ready to take the next step and prepares them for the working world of vocational jobs. We took over a dozen upperclassmen to Rising Sun where students had the opportunity to see the beginnings of careers in carpentry, roofing, HVAC and more. The teachers have been on the job and while training students, getting them real world applications for math, writing and reading. Ms. Michelle, our sponsor is our point person for a place that sells itself!
Pixar and Emery--no Anxiety
Great visit from our friends and neighbors at Pixar. The team from our local studio brought their character designer to our art room, shared her journey from dreamer to dream maker and then delighted everyone when she went to the smart board and demonstrated to everyone how to draw the character of Anxiety, and by the end of class, we had Mi'arie Scott and her crew able to make great reproduction's of the pro's work.
Share our Bounty
Emery High is committed to being here for our community. That is part of what we mean when we say that Emery Cares. Join us after school over the next eight weeks to provide for those who do not have enough, and raise your spirits and bring sustenance to others. We are looking for volunteers to be with us, and help us making someone's Spring a whole lot more joyful.
Practice Time
Every Tuesday at Emery during the second block, we are going to look at some practice questions and prompts from the practice CAASPP test. The first week, we will read one of the stories together, culminating in a short comprehensive quiz. We will then tackle the math, the science and eventually one or more Performance Tasks to wrap up the month of March and boost our odds of doing our best for the test.
Sew Good to Learn
Every Thursday after school, Ms. Ruff opens her classroom to parents, teachers, students and staff to master the hand skills that still kill. Learn to do crochet or use a sewing machine. That or knitting will allow you to do some home fixes, maybe delight someone with a project you created on your own or find a new passion.
Dress for Success
We are starting with little white lies and finishing up with well, we can't lie, we have no school next Friday, so we will get back to dressing like your teacher or staff in April. But for this week, go Green after fibbing Monday and then it's time to dress the part on Wednesday and Thursday, whoever you are rooting for is asking you to dress the part. Something for all spirits, see you in one of your many disguises starting Monday
