Community Spotlight
Series Note: This summer, Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD is spotlighting community partners who contribute to the success of our students through their involvement and commitment to positive programming and services. Working together, we are building a culture of excellence across the EMS ISD community! 


The Effie Center is more than an after-school program for high school students. For many, it's a safe haven where they can go to enjoy supervised, unstructured "down" time after a rigorous day of learning.
