Mission Statement
Emerson Elementary School's primary mission is to provide all students with the educational environment to become self-directed life long learners contributing positively in an multicultural society; to achieve this, a primary focus and emphasis will be in reading instruction so that learning to read becomes reading to learn. This will result in educational excellence and grant the opportunity for our students to be successful in an ever changing society. Together with parents and community members, our entire resources will be devoted to achieving this goal as we enter the next millennium.

School History
Our School was named after Ralph Waldo Emerson.
His original profession and calling was as a Unitarian minister. Emerson left the ministry to pursue a career in writing and public speaking. He became one of America's best known and best loved 19th century figures.

Our mascot is a gray fox due to a family of foxes living under our portable.  As a result, one of the morning news broadcaster for our closed caption TV station, WFOX, is a paper maché fox puppet dressed in the school uniform.
