Soccer Boys Blitz St. Vincent in 7-1 rout
A fast start and the Spartans never took their foot off the gas Thursday night against St. Vincent's High School. The soccer boys won 7-1 and played hard and with joy. Coach Todd Kane-Ross Jr, said that the practice is really starting to pay off and it is evident that this was true on the home field. Nuri, from the East Bay German School scored a hat trick, senior striker, Kevin Herrera put in a pair more and other Emery athletes contributed on defense and midfield. With the win, the Spartans earned a week long respite and time to practice for next week's game, a Friday tilt with Making Waves, who will travel to our home turf
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: Rhianna does it old school style
This image came from our assignment--Mastering the manual setting. Manual settings are where photography finally becomes intentional instead of accidental. Once students understand them, they stop “hoping” for a good photo and start creating one. As a photographer, Rihanna has begun to feel comfortable behind the camera. The photo is meant to show a bit of tension, school and technology pulling in different directions, but there’s also a sense of harmony between the two. EarPods can make reading feel more immersive, whether it’s through music that helps you focus or an audiobook that brings the story to life. The book holds the ideas, and the EarPods carry them to you. When they work together, the whole reading experience becomes richer than either one could offer on its own.
Open for (Select) Business this January

Alums Share their College Knowledge
Emery Past met Emery Future this Monday, when we had a great panel of Spartan graduates who came paying it forward and speaking to this year's upperclassmen in the A building, by invitation. We welcomed back the classes of '24 and '25 who shared their experiences at lunch and then in panel fashion answered questions about everything from how to select classes and a major to how you live with a roommate who eats your last slice of pizza. Thanks to Ms. Kayla and the college crew who put this (and lunch!) together for our students, hungry for knowledge--and pizza.
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. The city of Emeryville comes to visit Emery HS
Emeryville city manager, Latanya Bellow came by to visit our site this past Thursday and was able to see a "typical" day at school. The photography kids were out in force, capturing images without the help of an electronic guide. The junior English class was working on propaganda and preparing slides for a presentation, while the senior English students were looking at persuasion in speeches and identifying the rhetorical skills utilized. Our students were delightful hosts and made our visitor and guest feel right at home.
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.
Career Ready
Starting after the holiday break is the newest way to connect school and career, Ms. Michelle, our school's vocational expert is teaching a six week course on helping students bridge that gap. Each session will focus on a different element of success--some will be on resume building, others on the small talk that one needs to get and keep the job. Others will give you the confidence to interview and then keep the job you get.
Living the Dream
Martin Luther King Jr's birthday is a lot more than a day off. Emery HS wants to honor Dr. King with not just a holiday, but remembrances and celebrations of what he stood for--Doing what is right rather than what is easier. Taking the consequences for civil disobedience, a commitment to peace and community, along with the vision to know that the arc of justice may take generations but it arcs in the direction, we want to know and follow. We will spend the week highlighting his many highlights.
News where you're at
Emery is committed to keeping all of our students in the know. This is why we believe in Newsela, a news service that has updates on the regular, and this platform will shift the reading level to the level that matches every reading level. We are able to find world and US news, features and entertainment news and you can toggle the text to the level that best fits your reading level. The morning announcements will share a story every day, but don't let our schedule impact you--you can now get the news you need as you best access it
Make 2026 the year that Art does it right
A full calendar year of student art is the theme of the 2026 calendar for our Emery community. This is the product on sale for $20 in our main office and it features 13 unique pieces of student art. If you figure it, that's $1.50 a month to support and beautify the scene all around you. Thanks to Ms. Ruff and Ms. Crichlow who turned out the armada of artists to make this next year one we really look forward to seeing
New Club for You
The health center knows that there are students here who have the soul of a healer. This Monday and Mondays hereafter is when we start our Safety First Club. The topics will range from health care to drug awareness and prevention. We want to start some great dialogues and make Safety First and safety last.
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.
