Emery Class of 2025 Embarks on Impactful Trip to Israel
It sounds like a bad joke from “South Park”: A political group whose official slogan, complete with decorative banner, is “G-d is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse be upon the Jews, Victory to Islam!” But this isn’t satirical TV, it’s the actual rallying cry of the Houthis in Yemen.Read More
Because they’re backed by Iran, these militant jihadists have ballistic missiles and explosive drones, which they’ve been firing regularly at international cargo ships in the Red Sea and into Israel for the past 18 months.

Emery Senior Cindy Sun ’25 Named Top Ten Finalist in Congressional Art Competition
Read MoreEmery Senior Cindy Sun ’25 has been named a Top Ten Finalist in the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Texas’ Seventh Congressional District. Her original piece, titled “Skyscrapers,” earned distinction among submissions from high school students throughout the district.Cindy’s artwork explores the intersection of her Chinese and American cultural identities, capturing the complexities and contrasts of growing up between two worlds.“How does the contrast between my experiences in both China and America affect my view on life in different ways?” Cindy writes in her artist statement. “Through my artwork, I explore how my two cultures interact with each other in different ways, and how the effects of the distinct identities manifest in my life. I aim to create visual juxtapositions to show how my two cultural identities contrast with each other. I depict unusual circumstances involving both Chinese and American elements to force the two cultures to collide into what represents my Asian-American identity, even if it is an awkward combination.”

Read MoreThe seventh grader at Emery/Weiner would love to write a book about her hearing loss for an eighth-grade passion project in the future.She has a cochlear implant in each ear but struggles to keep up in group social environments.“Sometimes I can’t hear them and then they say, ‘never mind’ if I ask what was being said,” Hailey says. “I don’t press them sometimes to see what the conversation was about.
