A COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE
Adams County's commitment to education was demonstrated through public support and passage of a bond levy to construct 4 new high schools and renovate existing facilities to create modern elementary, middle and vocational schools. Distance learning/interactive video will be an integral component in these facilities allowing the educational opportunities available to equal offerings normally available only in much larger urban schools. Construction has begun on all of our new public schools. A new private school was completed in 1996.
