School History: Established in 1978, the I. Weiner Jewish Secondary School began with a student population of fewer than 20 students. Today, the Middle School alone serves over 200. From our successful past, a new future emerged with the establishment in 2001 of Emery High School, the renaming of the School as The Emery/Weiner School, and the creation of a cohesive 6th-12th grade curriculum.
