Letter from the Principal

Dear EMC Community,

I am so excited to enter into our 22nd year as a network! We have many things to celebrate from last year, from being the top-scoring public middle school in all of DC to being named a citywide math “bright spot” by The DC Math Hub. 

Thank you for your continued trust in our team and ongoing partnership as we worked together to support your children all year. We could not do this very important work without you! We look forward to continuing our work together to make EMC a truly amazing place to learn and grow. 

With gratitude,

Desiree Tucker Okah-Avae
Principal
