Join me in congratulating all of our seniors who are graduating this weekend! Graduation is a testimony to your hard work and dedication, and I hope you will remember this achievement whenever you face doubts in the future. The Adams 14 Board of Education and I are excited to celebrate with you and your loved ones on May 19 and 20.
On Monday, May 29, the city of Commerce City will have its 57th Annual Memorial Day Parade starting with the opening ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park at 8:45 a.m. The district wants an even stronger presence this year, and we hope to see you there as we celebrate Adams 14’s achievements during the parade.

Thank you to all our staff members and students for all the strong progress this school year. Just because the school year ends does not mean you must stop learning! We have several summer programs and science camps for you to join. Read our Community News section to learn more and sign up.
Good luck with your last few weeks of school this year!
At your service,
Superintendent Dr. Karla Loría
