The Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District encompasses 63 square miles in the Northwest corner of Tarrant County. The district serves Saginaw, Blue Mound, and portions of the City of Fort Worth. Students are enrolled, enriched, and educated in eight elementary schools, three middle schools, two high schools, an alternative learning center, and an early childhood center.

EM-S ISD is among one of the fastest growing school districts in the area. According to demographic projections provided by School District Strategies, district enrollment is expected to double in the next ten years. To ensure that all students have a safe, permanent learning environment, the community voted to pass a bond issue in August of 2002 that will allow the district to build 5 new campuses, including the district’s second high school. Saginaw High School, is located on the Southwest corner of Highway 156 and Basswood. SHS opened its doors to freshmen and sophomores in 2005 and will add a class each year with the first group of Roughriders receiving their diplomas in 2008. In addition,
the district opened its third middle school, Creekview in August of 2004.

With the hard work and dedication of highly competent classroom teachers and students, the district continually performs well on state exams and is successful in preparing students to excel after high school. The district offers many ways for parents, grandparents, business men and women, and community members to be involved. Mentoring programs offer caring adults a way to positively impact the life of a child in just a few minutes a week. The Texas Scholars program brings business men and women into the classroom to encourage middle and high school students to take more challenging curriculum.

The Board of Trustees meets on the third Monday of each month in the Board Room located in the Truett B. Absher Administration Building at 1200 Old Decatur Road. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend the meetings. Reports are presented at an
