To conclude our final staff day of the school year, the South Adams family came together this morning for a wonderful celebratory breakfast. It was a beautiful morning filled with joy, connection, and community.

During our time together, we honored and celebrated seven incredible individuals who are beginning a well-deserved new chapter. We extend our deepest gratitude to Superintendent Michelle Clouser-Penrod, ES/MS Secretary Sue Shoaf, and Middle School Title I Support Janene Teeter for their years of unwavering dedication to our schools, classrooms, and student success. We also want to give a special shout-out to Jeff Rich, who is officially "re-retiring" after continuing to serve our district!

Finally, a massive thank you to our incredible transportation team members who are retiring: Bus Drivers Molly Grover and Orlyn Lehman, and Bus Aide Lois Lehman.

Whether in administration, the office, direct student academic support, or on the road, your collective passion and care have shaped countless lives and helped build the strong foundation we stand on today. Your legacy will continue to inspire our district, and you will always have a home here. Please join us in wishing them all the very best in their retirement! 🌟🌟🌟

Imagine walking down the same hallways where you once learned to read, but this time, you’re wearing a cap and gown. That was reality for the Class of 2026 on Friday afternoon.

The annual Senior Walk brought everything full circle. As our seniors paraded through South Adams, they weren't just moving past classrooms, they were moving past years of memories, laughter, and hard work. Seeing the awe on the faces of the elementary students lining the halls reminded us all of how fast time flies.

Class of 2026: You have set an incredible example for the students walking in your footsteps. Thank you for your leadership, your spirit, and your dedication. Your next adventure starts now! 🌟🌟🌟

Nothing says "hello summer" quite like the traditional last-day bus parade! The parking lot was a beautiful chaos of honking horns, cheers, and students leaning out the windows to wave a final goodbye to our amazing teachers.

Huge shoutout to all the staff and students for making this year one for the books. Now go out there, stay safe, and have the best summer break ever!

We are proud to celebrate a rare and remarkable achievement by 11th grader Austin Frank. Austin has passed 10 different areas of certification for automotive technicians through the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

This is a milestone our school hasn't seen in years. These rigorous, industry-standard exams are typically taken by advanced trade students and working professionals. For a high school junior to earn 10 certifications demonstrates exceptional technical skill, focus, and dedication. Austin is already operating at a professional level well ahead of graduation.

Austin, your work ethic and expertise are truly inspiring. You have a bright future ahead in the automotive industry, and we congratulate you on this monumental achievement. 🌟🌟🌟
