EMS parent and community member Steve Johnson came by this afternoon to share about his work as a Website Developer with Textron Aviation. We appreciate the time he spent with EMS students explaining the interesting work he does on a day-to-day basis. #EveryDayWithExcellence

The EMS News Crew is out and about this morning doing interviews with our fall sport student-athletes and coaches. This crew works hard to keep us up-to-date on all things EMS. Way to go, Cats! ❤️🖤 #EveryDayWithExcellence


We ❤️ having Annie at EMS. She’s a busy gal- attending classes, monitoring her end of the hallway, and checking in on students and staff. We’re thankful for the social-emotional support she provides by loving everyone and being the sweetest dog. 🐾




Students in choir class with Mrs. Banks-Todd singing the National Anthem. Only a few days in and they sound amazing. Keep up the great work, Cats!


🚨Be on the lookout 🚨Cat Tracks will be your weekly update on 490’s Athletics & Activities. This will be your one stop shop for what happened, what’s going to happen, and weekly good things. Things are getting ready to get busy and we’re excited! GO CATS! #everydaywithexcellence
