We are now Emerson
Community Charter
On June 10, 2014, the LAUSD School Board voted to approve Emerson’s application
to become a LAUSD-affiliated charter. This August, our neighborhood middle school will open
its doors as Emerson Community Charter.
This marks a major milestone for the school and recognizes the hard work,
creative thinking and collaboration of teachers, administrators, parents,
students and other stakeholders to effectuate change at Emerson. The charter
will ensure that all new members to our school community understand and
similarly embrace the mission, standards and philosophy established by our
current stakeholders.
The new STEM and Arts & Media Academies, modeled after the successful
Emerson Sports Academy, have proven to be a critical development in the
renaissance taking place at Emerson. We are pleased to announce the
introduction of a fourth academy, Leadership, which will launch in the
fall. In addition, the campus renovation project is proceeding apace with
construction slated for an early completion in August 2015.
We look forward to ushering in a new era for Emerson Community Charter.
