John Adams High School

I'm a 1961 grad and during my time at Adams, it was one of the top-ranked schools in the country for preparing students for college. As an example, my two years of college Spanish was basically a review of my two years at Adams. Was it easy...no? I was in the Honors Math Program taking three semesters of advanced math each year...using a slide rule (pre-calculator era). I went on to earn a BA, two MAs and an MBA over the years, ending up as a College Professor after retiring, at age 54, as an IBM Systems Engineer. Proudly, it also helped prepare me to spend four years, during the Cold War, in the US Air Force's nuclear missile program before joining IBM. Adams gave me a very solid learning base to grow on and to build what I consider a fairly successful life. Thanks JA!

2017 Senior, I've really loved the sense of team spirit and good memories with our John Adams Science Olympiad Team and being able to learn so much in IB English, French, and Visual Arts. John Adams as a whole has definitely positively shaped who I am as a student and how I perceive the world.ud83dudc4d
