By maintaining high expectations and involving everybody (teachers, staff, parents and community members) in our program, we improve students’ success in meeting county and state achievement standards.

Emmitsburg Elementary has a reputation for bringing together the best combination of services to meet the instructional needs of each student. In addition to our classroom and music, art and physical education teachers, we utilize the skills of our reading specialist, school counselor, special educators and interventionalists and teacher specialists to provide individual and small-group instruction. Interns and tutors from Mount Saint Mary’s University provide additional educational opportunities for our students.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA) activities have become increasingly popular at EES. Events such as Moms and Muffins, Dads and Donuts, and Grandparents and Granola, as well as Family Fun Nights and "Meet the Teacher" support our emphasis on family involvement.

The entire Emmitsburg community takes pride in our endeavors to provide an excellent learning environment for each student.
