Recognized as a Spotlight School, the highest designation awarded by the New Mexico Public Education Department, EMHS is a model of what public education can achieve when students, educators, and families work together.
Our most recent school report card, available at www.nmvistas.org, showcases our outstanding academic performance and the programs that make us unique. At EMHS, we combine a rigorous curriculum with a commitment to fostering curiosity and critical thinking. Through small class sizes, hands-on learning, and dedicated teachers, we ensure every student has the tools to thrive academically and personally.
Our school’s focus on innovation is reflected in our approach to teaching and learning. From our award-winning arts and athletics programs to our emphasis on leadership and service, EMHS provides students with opportunities to grow as well-rounded individuals. We strive to cultivate a sense of curiosity that prepares our students to tackle real-world challenges and succeed in college, careers, and beyond.
