John Adams Elementary along with four other elementary schools in our
district has been named an Honor Roll School on behalf of California
Business for Education Excellence.  John Adams has been recognized by
California’s business community for having
demonstrated consistently high student
academic achievement and for making
significant progress toward closing
achievement gaps among all students.
Congratulations to the hard work of our
teachers and students for this honor!
A banner signifying this award will be
hung in the front of our school.  A full list
of the Honor Roll schools as well as more
