Your Support in Action

Thanks to YOUR generous donations to the PTSO…

  • We appreciated our teachers & staff with goodies at the October 18, 2023, staff meeting.
  • Our inaugural EMHS Parent GPS “Parking Lot” Meeting was this morning @ 10:00A! Did you miss it? No worries, we’ll be back in November with another Parent2Parent Meet Up!! Stay tuned for updates!!
  • Another example of what your PTSO donations are doing behind the scenes! October 2 was National Custodian Day, and we celebrated our hardworking custodial staff with gifts of gratitude.
  • Your PTSO Grants Committee applied for and received a $750 grant from the City of Charlotte to use towards murals in the school’s courtyard. The PTSO worked with Ms. Winiarski and students from the Visual Arts department at EMHS to design and paint the murals. Notice the black billboard painted with chalkboard paint to allow for personal messaging and Principal Parker with his Jeep. (And perfect for selfies!) Congratulations and thanks to our Visual Arts program and Grants Committee Chair, Mary Beth Ausman, for a fantastic project! Go check it out!
