John Adams Middle School

New STEM Building
Construction on the new Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) building at John Adams is underway. Thanks to the community's support of Bond Measure QS, this exciting project is moving forward to transform STEM learning for JAMS students
Our new STEM Classroom Building is more than construction - it’s a promise. A promise of possibility for every student, inspiration for our community, and equitable opportunities for the future. We are not just building classrooms, we are building pathways that strengthen STEM identity and open doors to science, technology, and innovation for all.

JAMS celebrated a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly modernized library on February 19, 2025. This state-of-the-art space is designed for reading, exploration, and collaboration, reflecting the District’s commitment to future-ready learning. The library modernization was made possible thanks to Measure SMS, approved by Santa Monica voters in 2018.
