DUBLIN, CA — Nearly 13,000 students returned to Dublin schools Tuesday, bringing a parade of mascots, high fives, raised hands, and painted cars.
Emerald High School also welcomed a new class of students, and now has freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. The school is expected to be completely full by the 2026-27 school year. EHS recently finished Phase II of construction, which features a new academic tower with 39 new classrooms, and new facilities for broadcast technology, dance, theater, and sports.
"Seeing approximately 13,000 students return to our campuses today was an incredible reminder of the importance of the work we do in Dublin Unified," DUSD Superintendent Chris Funk said in a statement.
"From students reconnecting with friends to meeting new teachers and diving into their classes, the energy and excitement were everywhere. Our dedicated staff and supportive families set the stage for a year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. I'm so thankful for the work that was completed over the summer by our classified staff; our schools look amazing."
