Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide each student with a diverse education in a safe, respectful and supportive environment that promotes relevant and meaningful learning experiences, which are challenging, engaging and aligned to Colorado Content standards. We work to ensure that the students, staff, parents and community members of Adams City High School work in a collaborative partnership to help students develop the skills necessary to become independent and self sufficient citizens.
Adams City High School welcomes students to a new, state-of-the-art school that opened in August 2009. Students choose from multiple pathways for their high school studies: Early College (with Career and Technical Education), Arts, Science and Technology, and International Baccalaureate. The school is also initiating a Ninth Grade Academy in fall 2011.
