In response to the success of the I. Weiner Middle School, which has served students since 1978, and to fill a gap in the spectrum of local independent high schools, Emery High School opened in 2001 with 31 students. In accordance with our mission, we accept a broad range of students, ranging from the 40th to the 99th percentile in standardized admission testing. Moreover, we offer a dual-studies curriculum that requires all students to demonstrate proficiency in Hebrew, notwithstanding study of another foreign language, and requires students to take Judaic Studies classes. Emery/Weiner is a pluralistic and progressive community day school that emphasizes commitment rather than commandment. The result is a learning partnership in which students feel a sense of ownership and, more importantly, become graduates instilled with moral self-reliance.Enrollment for FYE 2015 was approximately 470 students in the sixth through the twelfth grades. 12981002 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false true true false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false true 28 0 true 141 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 38 38 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Dave Meyer 8322045897 9825 Stella Link Houston TX 77025 Andrew Bursten President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Weycer Senior VP 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Debbie Diamond Vice President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Elisha Selzer Vice President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jordana Slawin Secretary 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Steiner Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joshua Aruh Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wendy Bernstein Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Kaufman Blachman Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Blumrosen Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Brookner Trustee 1.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Bruce Caress Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Emery Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clive Fields Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Goldstein Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stefani Golub Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Don Graubart Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Harris Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Kaplan Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Kaplan Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Kornfeld Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stan Levy Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barry Lewis Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Lombardi Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn Lowenstein Trustee 1.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Sunni Markowitz Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Morris Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brad Rauch Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marci Rosenberg Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rodney Roth Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Schaffer Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alana Spiwak Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Stein Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roger Stern Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Strum Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Taylor Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bonnie Winograd Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Inna Wizig Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stuart Dow Head of School 50.00 0.00 X 340277 0 8750 David Meyer CFO 50.00 0.00 X 122106 0 5098 Luetta Bishop Head of US 50.00 0.00 X 114715 0 4663 Rebecca Star Development Dir 50.00 0.00 X 100722 0 4271 677820 22782 4 false true false Mission Constructors 3813 Buffalo Speedway Houston TX 77098 Construction 975685 PBK Architects Inc 11 Greenway Plaza 2210 Houston TX 77046 Architectural/Engin 139305 2 219000 502521 256714 5760064 94127 6738299 Auxiliary service fees 611710 55260 55260 Tuition and fees 611600 10672529 10672529 10727789 2347 2347 0 0 0 0 187440 502521 175160 12280 12280 0 0 0 17480715 10727789 14627 1765771 1765771 1227834 1227834 0 0 477328 244028 163578 69722 0 5389386 4716767 435081 237538 154776 131688 15652 7436 674535 587146 59242 28147 444027 377793 44901 21333 0 0 92532 92532 0 0 0 6750 5743 683 324 15019 170 20 14829 176776 99593 72455 4728 76260 64884 7712 3664 0 729201 716981 9997 2223 31953 27187 3231 1535 0 972 827 98 47 31423 31423 0 967719 934266 24646 8807 101650 100420 1081 149 Student field trips 842799 842799 Cafeteria food 536808 530317 5706 785 Educational materials/supplies 362907 362907 Team Sports/Athletics 150961 150961 171409 61497 23076 86836 14428796 12981002 959691 488103 322 400 8785816 6999625 2422464 3996686 31926 58766 0 0 0 0 63079 80726 29609355 8070565 20548927 21538790 0 0 0 0 53902 56668 31906436 32731661 575420 1209732 5015344 5058194 3391660 314285 545461 396996 25054 9379420 7152726 X 20223953 20133797 1701063 4694819 602000 750319 22527016 25578935 31906436 32731661 3051919 X false true X true false X Part I: Additional Information The Emery/Weiner Center for Jewish Education is classified as a School under IRC Section 170(b)(1)(A(ii).
