Our staff and community set high expectations for students in their academic achievement, their behavior, and their work ethic. We challenge students to achieve at their highest level and encourage them to take responsibility for their preparation for adulthood and their careers. Many of our graduates continue to live and work in our community or neighboring communities, and we are committed to helping them be successful so they can help our communities remain a great place to live, work, and raise a family. We are focused on our goal to give students experiences through a high-value education that will prepare them to have positive and productive lives as graduates of South Adams High School. We enjoy celebrating the successes of our students as they represent South Adams High School as students and as graduates.
