Chess

Overview:

For the 2024/2025 school year, the EMS PTSA will partner with All About Chess to offer an Online After School Enrichment Chess Club for EMS students. This is a PTSA sponsored afterschool enrichment activity and not part of any school classes related to EMS.

EMS had strong teams at past State Championships, and we hope to continue our success.
