Outcomes
Our goal at EMS is to launch graduates into the world who are equipped mentally, emotionally, academically, and spiritually to navigate their future. We encourage and support all of our students' plans for the future, whether they pursue higher education, a wage-earning job, training in the trades, voluntary service, or a gap year experience.
Please tell Ms. Hertzler we all appreciate her keeping everyone on track for college. She treats each child like an individual and helps get their ownership. - Current Parent
EMHS teachers and administrators strive to nurture each graduate into whole people with skills that will serve them well in the next stage of their lives, whether that is in college, the work force or volunteer work. Our graduates stand out in college and university settings as strong writers and critical thinkers. They have developed study skills, self awareness and emotional maturity that prepare them for a complex, inter-connected world.
