Meet another one of our alumni! Jamilah Barker began with EMHCS in 2000: "My favorite memory about EMHCS is how tight-knit the school was. The smaller environment and class size allowed for more personal relationships with both teachers and administrators. I vividly remember feeling like they knew me and it made a substantial difference in my learning. I currently work as a T-mobile Sales Rep, helping customers in both English and Spanish and I also make digital invitations a...s a side hustle to supplement my income. When my Spanish speaking customers ask where I learned Spanish so well, I speak extremely highly of EMHCS. I always reiterate the safe and invested environment the school provides for its students. Not only that, but the dedication they have to preserving and sharing hispanic culture with its students." Barker also continues to use her platform to raise awareness about systemic injustice!
