Campus Goals

Children at Adam Elementary "Soar to Success" through a myriad of learning opportunities that are designed to allow each student to reach his/her academic and social potential in a challenging and safe environment.  Our staff believes that all children can learn and it is our responsibility to facilitate that process, one child at a time.  If we are successful, then each child in our school will put individual meaning to our school song when we sing, "We see ourselves as remarkable!"

He served 24 years on the board of education, and he and his wife, Irene, reared four sons who went through the Cypress-Fairbanks school system. Mr. Adam and his family were actively involved in the community.
