In EMS ISD — We Love Our Students!

Welcome to the Spring 2026 edition of EMS Proud in partnership with 287 North Living! As we move into the final stretch of another outstanding school year, I am continually reminded of what makes Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD such a special place, our students, our people and our unwavering belief in what’s possible for every child.

In EMS ISD, we love our students. We are grateful for them every single day, and we are honored that families trust us with their children’s education.
From nurturing, engaging, high-quality learning environments in our
elementary classrooms to the expansive academic, extracurricular and leadership opportunities in our secondary schools, we are committed to ensuring every student is known, valued and challenged.

Our youngest learners are building strong foundations in caring classrooms designed to spark curiosity and confidence. As students grow, so do their opportunities. From advanced academics and fine arts to athletics, career and technical education, and innovative programming, EMS ISD has something for everyone. This includes our new Premier Pathway, where students can graduate with 45 hours of college credit and be stamped “core complete,” meaning those credits transfer to any state supported college or university in Texas. That pathway, along with the many specialized programs across our district, reflects our commitment to preparing students not just for graduation, but for a future filled with purpose and possibility.

We are proud of what we offer, and we want every family who calls EMS ISD home to take a closer look.

If you live in the EMS ISD attendance area but are currently educating
your child elsewhere, we invite you to explore our campuses, meet our educators, and discover the difference our schools can make. You may be surprised to find the perfect place for your child right here in your own community. Our doors are open, and we would love the opportunity to partner with you.

None of this work happens in isolation. We are deeply thankful for the support of our business leaders, community organizations, and faith-based partners. Whether aligning programs to help develop our future workforce, mentoring students, supporting teachers and staff, or simply showing up to cheer on our schools, your partnership strengthens everything we do. Public education is strongest when the entire community stands behind it, and in EMS ISD, that support continues to make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for being part of the EMS ISD story. Together, we will continue building a district where every student can thrive and every family can be proud to call EMS ISD home.
