We are a fish and shellfish restrictive school. No fish or shellfish products are permitted at school. We will always support the safety of our Eagles. As a result of a couple Eagles having serious fish and shellfish allergies, we are officially a fish and shellfish restrictive school. Do not bring fish and shellfish products to school such as tuna fish and sushi.
We are excited to announce that the Social Studies Department will welcome the City of Westland’s 18th District Court on Tuesday, September 15, in celebration of Constitution Day!
This unique learning opportunity will allow our 7th and 8th grade students to experience the judicial branch of our government in action. Students will have the opportunity to observe live court proceedings and participate in a question-and-answer session with both of our local judges.
Please check out all of the information below, and don't hesitate to reach out to the Front Office with questions!

Hi Eagles parents!
It’s that time of the year when 6th and 7th grade students will choose which electives they are interested in taking next year. At this time, we are asking parents/guardians to review the Course Description Guide with their student and discuss which electives they are interested in taking next year. Below is the schedule when Counselors will be in classrooms for students to rank their electives in order of preference. Due to a variety of factors, not every elective will be offered at Adams next school year, however, we make every effort to place students in their top elective choices. Schedules are not finalized until late August, so this is the first step in the six month scheduling process.
This past weekend, over 30 students participated in the regional competition for National History Day. Out of that group, Adams Middle School is sending 24 students to the State competition!
The next competition is the State Competition, held at Saginaw Valley University on April 25th, 2026, from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM. The top two qualifiers in each category will earn the opportunity to represent the state of Michigan against 50 other states and 4 territories at the National Competition in Maryland at the University of Maryland. Last year, we brought home our first National Award Winner, and we are so excited for your child to be the next one!
Parents and Teachers, this achievement could not have happened without your support and encouragement. We truly appreciate all that you do to help our students succeed.

NEWSLETTER: AMS News - March 2, 2026
I am excited to share some outstanding news with our Adams community!
This Winter, our students completed the NWEA assessments in Reading, Math, and Science across all grade levels-and the results are truly something to celebrate. At every grade level, in every subject, our achievement percentiles increased. Even more impressive, our student growth continues to stand out on a national level. In both Reading and Science, Adams students are performing in the top half nationally for growth, and in Math, we are just one percentage point away from reaching that same milestone.
These results are not accidental-they are the direct result of a strong, united effort between our students, staff, and families.
First, I want to thank you-our families. Your support with consistent attendance and reducing tardies has made a measurable difference. Our building data shows clear improvement in both areas, and we know that when students are in school, on time, and ready to learn, achievement follows. Quite simply, more time in class equals more opportunity to grow-and your partnership has made that possible.
I also want to recognize our incredible staff. Every day, they go above and beyond to meet the individual needs of our students-differentiating instruction, building relationships, and ensuring that each child feels supported, challenged, and valued. Their dedication is reflected in these results, and we are fortunate to have such a committed team at Adams.
Most importantly, I want to celebrate our students. Their effort, perseverance, and willingness to grow are what truly drive this success. We are proud of the work they are putting in every single day.
While we celebrate this achievement, we also look ahead. Let's continue this momentum by staying focused on what works-strong attendance, on-time arrival, and a shared commitment to learning.
Together, we are building something special at Adams Middle School.
With appreciation and pride,
Matthew Ceo
Principal
Adams Middle School
