New Emerson School:

New Emerson School is a K-5 public elementary school in Grand Junction, CO. We are also a lottery-based, magnet school for Mesa County Valley School District #51. Our school opened its doors in the 1990s and was originally focused on balanced literacy; however, we have expanded it to include Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math (STEAM) and performance-based and problem-based learning practices.
