We work to develop student responsibility, independence, self‑motivation, and cooperation and a desire for lifelong learning in a secure environment… where each student is regarded with respect and dignity and individual and cultural differences are valued.

John Q. Adams will instill a passion for life‑long learning through engaging and purposeful instruction. Students, parents, teachers and the community will work collaboratively to foster high academic achievement and social responsibility. We will… prepare all students for success in college and the global community.

To create a culturally responsive environment where students and staff feel safe to learn, grow, and reach their full potential to influence the community.

To build a learning community of lifelong leaders, innovators, and positive contributors that believe excellence is not only the goal but the standard!

To provide a safe and secure learning environment in which students gain the behavioral and academic skills to become successful.

Every student in every classroom is engaged in learning opportunities and instruction that will allow him or her to meet or exceed high standards.

To foster and cultivate pride in our students that prepares them for achieving excellence and competing successfully in our dynamic and global society.
