History of
Adams
Adams School was originally a two-room wooden structure known as Garden Park School. It was built in 1902, and was part of School District 103. The first teacher was Miss Clara Nicholls who was the only teacher for all of the students.
In 1908 the school was annexed into School District 81. It was probably named after Mr. Charles Adams who owned the 14 1/2 acres of land between Ray and Regal Streets.
During 1909 and 1910, a brick building was constructed to replace the wooden structure. The new building had four classrooms, an industrial arts room, and a social room. In 1917, the first addition was made adding four more classrooms. In 1948, the multi-purpose room, kitchen, utility room, and six additional classrooms were added. The first portable building was added in 1974, the second in 1987, and the third was added in 1995.
We celebrated our first 100 years last January, 2008. We look forward to another 100 great years.
