The El Monte Union High School District will host a groundbreaking ceremony on April 16 at 5 p.m. to mark the start of major El Monte Rosemead Adult School upgrades. The event, open to the public, signals a major investment in adult education serving the western San Gabriel Valley. The EMRAS upgrades are part of a district-wide effort to modernize school facilities and improve educational access.

Modernization Supports Adult Learners

EMRAS is home to essential programs such as the Adult Transition Program. These services support adult learners from El Monte, South El Monte, Rosemead, and surrounding areas. Planned improvements include a new two-story instructional building, enhanced landscaping, and structural upgrades to improve the learning environment.

Infrastructure updates—such as a new drop-off area and expanded parking—aim to make the center safer and more accessible. These changes are designed to accommodate increased enrollment and better serve students, faculty, and visitors.

EMRAS Upgrades Funded by Measure HS Voter Support

Funding for the project comes from Measure HS, a bond approved by local voters to improve school sites and educational facilities throughout the district. The upgrades reflect a strategic use of those funds to strengthen programs that help community members develop new skills and achieve educational goals.

District Invites Community Participation

The district is encouraging residents to attend the April 16 ceremony and learn more about the changes coming to the site. Updates and information about the project can be found at www.emuhsd.org.

The El Monte Rosemead Adult School upgrades will expand opportunity and access for thousands of adult learners across the region. The project stands as a visible sign of the district’s dedication to educational equity and community progress.
