A Secret Revealed

"Surprise & Delights" are an incredible feeling for everyone involved in the moment.  In a moment of true "Surprise & Delight", wishes came true last Thursday afternoon in a small gym that serves a community with a tradition built on Excellence.  Eminence Excellence.  What I was priveleged to witness in that moment at Eminence Independent Schools, was a genuine excitement validated by outrageous screams from students, smiles that extended from one ear to the other, and tears streaming down the faces of both staff and students.  A moment that I will not soon forget.  The moment that Eminence Independent Schools went 1:1 with MacBook Pros from grades 3-12, pushing all other ipads and devices down to lower grades.

It was in that moment that a foundational pillar in the School on FIRE (Framework of Innovation to Reinvent Education) became real, the ability to personalize learning for every child in every class was no longer a dream, but a reality.  The reality that we have the ability to differentiate instruction for the various needs of the students we serve is exciting and life changing.  The efficiency by which we deliver interventions, connections, and enrichement (ICE) will continue to improve the quality of the Eminence Excellence we live by daily. The tool of technolgy provides access to learning tools and information that will support the rigorous teaching our staff demonstrates daily and exponentially increase thier ability to meet the learning needs of every student, everyday.  

We are learning continuously from the implementation of the ACES (Apple Computers for Eminence Students) program in the high school two years ago.  This learning has been invaluable in the   strategic implemenation of devices into our middle school.  We are striving to effectively integrate the use of technology while holding to the high standards of Eminence Excellence we expect of our students.  We continue to learn and improve our work daily and we hope you will join us as we embark on a journey to provide anywhere learning for the students served by Eminence Independent Schools.  

The enhancement of educational opportunities for the students served by Eminence Independent Schools is not a new concept, instead one that has built the school a reputation of EXCELLENCE.  A reputation that will continue to make you proud as our ideas and work with students are moving into a level beyond anything we have ever imagined.  The best is yet to come at Eminence Independent Schools!
