Homecoming 2023: Honoring years 3 and 8
EMS homecoming weekend 2023 was an opportunity to come “home” and celebrate the connections we cherish. Homecoming weekend is testament to our deep-rooted traditions and the spirit that unites us. Many gathered for picnics, alumni reunions, athletic games and a concert highlighting the music department. Alumni, friends, and current families came to connect! Homecoming offered a place with warm acceptance, place to belong, and spaces where we can thrive. Within our EMS community, we may come and go, but our legacy endures!
