Elementary PACE (gifted and talented) students across Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD once again took center stage during this year’s Evening with the Experts, sharing weeks of independent research, creativity and learning with families, staff and community members.

This year’s Evening with the Experts included district showcase events at Chisholm Trail High School for Chisholm Trail and Saginaw feeder campuses, along with campus-based presentations for Boswell and Eagle Mountain feeder campuses. These exciting events gave students across EMS ISD the opportunity to proudly present their work and engage with visitors.

From science and technology to history, culture and personal passions, students explored a wide range of topics through detailed displays, visuals and interactive conversations. Cafeterias, libraries and hallways were transformed into exhibition spaces as students confidently explained their learning and answered questions from guests.

“Table after table, I saw students explaining their learning, answering great questions, and living out our mission that calls us to spark a ‘...passion for a lifetime…’” Dr. Jerry Hollingsworth, EMS ISD Superintendent, said. “In short, it was a beautiful thing to behold.”

The event is a hallmark of the district’s PACE program, encouraging students to pursue topics they are passionate about while strengthening research, communication and presentation skills. Throughout the showcases, students demonstrated not only academic growth, but also confidence, curiosity and pride in their work.

As guests moved from project to project, the energy throughout each event reflected the meaningful learning experiences happening across Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD. Evening with the Experts continues to celebrate student voice, creativity and the passion for learning that extends far beyond the classroom.
