On October 16, Selebrity Searcy and her mom walked into Dozier Elementary to enroll in first grade. Little did they know that their choice to join the EMS ISD community pushed district student enrollment past the 20,000 mark! Selebrity (pictured center with sign) and her new classmates got a special visit from Superintendent Dr. Jim Chadwell to commemorate the district's 20K Day.
Currently the 7th-fastest growing school district in the D/FW Metroplex, EMS ISD welcomes new students to our schools and community weekly. Join us on the
EMS ISD Facebook page for some special 20K Day giveaways to celebrate this milestone with our community.
We are pleased to announce EMS ISD's new community magazine, EMS PROUD, featuring news about the school district, the City of Blue Mound, the City of Fort Worth, the City of Saginaw, the Saginaw Area Chamber of Commerce, and the EMS Education Foundation. Find the online version here. Printed copies of the fall/winter issue will be arriving at campuses and local businesses around the community. #emsproud
