Adrian High School & Middle School
The Adrian Dragons Middle School and High School is embedded in the middle of the community of Adrian and houses approximately 360 students in grades 6 - 12. It is our mission to provide our students with life-long learning that is challenging, enjoyable, and valuable. The commitment and pride on education from the communities that make up Adrian Schools, the local school board, administration, teachers, parents, students and support staff helps us provide our students with these educational opportunities, which meet the Federal No Child Left Behind criteria and the Minnesota State Standard guidelines.
At the middle school, students in grades 6 – 8 take the normal classes such as Reading/Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Math, and Health/Physical Education. In addition to these courses, our middle school students have enrichment classes in Art, Music, Family Consumer Science, Business Applications, Math and Science in their schedules. They also are involved in an I-Tech laboratory where they get a chance to work with wood-making tools, computers, and other equipment to design such things as rockets, carbon cars, and buildings.
