Welcome!
Welcome!
My name is Thomas F. Adams, Jr. and I am excited to serve as the principal of Shirley D. Simmons Middle School. This is indeed an amazing opportunity. I am entering into my 14th year in education and my 7th year in administration. My administrative experience is exclusively at the middle school level. I have had the distinguished opportunity to serve as 7th and 8th grade assistant principal at both Columbus and Madison Middle schools. This year I am looking forward to serving as your principal!
