Our Town
The city of Emeryville is unique as is our school. And we are going to spend the month of October learning about each other. Every day, a new historical fact or piece of information about our city is part of our daily announcements. At the end of the month, we are hosting a trivia contest to award the student who has the best recall. The top three will get Emeryville related gift cards and everyone will be gifted with increased awareness and connection between our school and our city. How Emeryville can you be?
Timea Kirvin, Artist of the Week
Great piece from Timea Kirvin from Ms. Crichlow's class–This picture shows the composition of space and lines, the pier leads your eye straight into the end of the photo. She used the little lighting on the horizon to differentiate between the water and the sky. There is also a little symmetry between the little pier and the water as well as-well-as the fall-away towers.
Betta and Betta
We are looking for student leaders to take charge of a new group for social emotional support. The first meeting of the Aspire crew will be a lunch time event next week and then from there plan a campaign to raise awareness and energy toward this goal and build it betta
Health is Happiness
High School students at Emery have the opportunity to ask for and receive mental health help during their time on campus. The health center has this flyer above, across campus to help those in the most acute need. If you are feeling wrong, reach out to people who are pros at helping out. We want the students to know that all of this work is strictly confidential and what you do when you reach out is making everyone better.
New Voices getting heard
In collaboration with New Literary Project and St. Mary's College, a few of our current and former creative writing students submitted for publication in the literary journal, Simpsonistas, including Milani Josey ('24), Kayla Paul ('24), Denisse Velazquez ('25), Hevi Khaddaded ('27), and Zaid Dobashi ('27).
Everyone is welcome to attend the Simposistas Vol. 6 unveiling and award party on Oct 27.

We've got the Spirit!
The holiday spirit starts early at Emery. We are getting ready for Halloween, Homecoming and Spirit all together. The leadership crew has identified days the last of October for getting dressed and getting excited about the turn toward the holidays. We are giving you a couple of weeks to get ready and we figure that will give you time to raid your closet for the best fits for the week. At the end of the week we are hosting a Dance so make it spirited and if you choose, make it spooky too.
Spartan Debate kicks off
The Emery squad led by faculty advisor, Ms. Crichlow starts the 2024-25 debate season with a workshop this weekend in Oakland. The Spartan squad running ten deep is so ready to get the year started. This year's topic has to do with intellectual property, and our team has been busy preparing and practicing to be set for their debut on October 19, see and hear you there!
Career Pathways on the way to Emery High
There are so many opportunities for our students after they graduate high school. Ms. Michelle Chen is on campus every Wednesday starting this week to make Emeryville her home. Ms. Chen is from Alameda County Department of Education and she is providing job links and field visits to students looking for a pathway after school that pay and provide great options.
