Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District is excited to be offering Limited Open Enrollment and welcome your family to our school community!

A criteria-based enrollment program will be implemented for select campuses - grades kindergarten - 12. This program will allow students who are not otherwise zoned or eligible to apply for enrollment to attend EMS ISD. It will offer, for the first time, access to EMS ISD's great schools and programs to children who live outside of EMS ISD and meet established eligibility standards. 

The following campuses are being considered for Limited Open Enrollment at this time:

  • Greenfield Elementary School
  • Northbrook Elementary School
  • Dozier Elementary School
  • Ed Willkie Middle School
  • Marine Creek Middle School
  • Eagle Mountain High School
  • Chisholm Trail High School
  • Boswell High School
  • Saginaw High School

Note: Applicants will need to reapply every year. Once accepted, a student is not guaranteed a spot year to year.
