Emerson Elementary

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.
