Emma Lazarus High School
About Us
Emma Lazarus High school offers a unique program for students who are English language learners. Our programs are designed to support diverse, older students learning English as they complete their high school studies, while also preparing them to enter institutions of higher learning. Technology is infused into every aspect of the classroom: students and teachers have personal laptops, and we use equipment such as iPads, video cameras, audio recorders, and professional software on a daily basis. We are very excited to announce that Emma Lazarus High School has been named the #1 High School in the United States of America for low-income students and #20 in America's Top High Schools in 2014 by Newsweek magazine!
