Principal's Message

As the Principal of Adams Middle School, it is my pleasure to welcome you into our learning 
community. We are a team of administrators, staff, and parents committed to the academic and social 
development of our students in a safe and positive environment.

We are a team who deeply believes in the potential of our students to form a solid academic 
identity, trusting the engagement and interaction with teachers who model 21st century thinking 
skills coupled with encouragement and accountability from parents will result in excellence.

We are a team who deeply believes in the potential of our students to form a community of 
character, trusting that they will embrace the shared values of diversity, equity, inclusion, 
kindness, and responsibility as adults around them model these each day.

We are a team who deeply believes in the reflective practices and collaborative conversations that 
form the backbone of a professional learning community, knowing that these on-going practices will 
lead to innovation and enrichment within our academic programs.

Above all, we are a team. We are a community of educators and parents who believe that together we 
can provide the safe, positive, and supportive environment our students need to flourish both 
academically and socially.

Sincerely,

Lauren Griggs

Principal - J. Douglas Adams Middle School
