More Than 400 Attend
First Districtwide STEM Showcase
With more than 400 students, parents, staff, and community members in attendance, EMS ISD's first districtwide STEM Showcase was a success at the Hollenstein Career and Technology Center on the evening of March 22.
The event was a come-and-go format showcasing a variety of the fun and engaging STEM projects and hands-on activities that we see everyday in our schools such as star labs, humanoid robots, rockets, drones, friction experiments, theatre costume design, force and motion experiments, and Discovery MakerSpace carts. A total of 57 student groups representing grades PreK-12 from nearly all EMS ISD schools were featured.

The district's next two campuses to be built, a new elementary and a new high school, now have official names and school colors. The EMS ISD Board of Education approved the recommended names of Copper Creek Elementary School and Eagle Mountain High School during the regular monthly meeting on March 26.
Copper Creek Elementary School, estimated to open in fall 2020, will be located in the housing addition by the same name off Blue Mound Road, directly across from the US Treasury. The school colors will be cardinal red and gold, and the mascot will be the Copper Creek Cowboys. This will be the district's 16th elementary campus.
Eagle Mountain High School, estimated to open in fall 2024, will be located south of Bonds Ranch Road between the Chapel Hill and Bonds Ranch/Crestview residential developments. The school colors will be black and gold, and the first graduating class will have the opportunity to choose the school mascot from a selection of Board-approved options. This will be the district's fourth high school.
