This incredible achievement reflects the dedication of our students and staff who have expanded participation, strengthened inclusion, and grown Special Olympics sports and activities on campus. Their commitment to creating a school where every student belongs and shines is truly inspiring.
Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools are recognized for building cultures of inclusion through:
• Unified Sports: where students with and without intellectual disabilities compete together
• Inclusive youth leadership: empowering students to lead the way
• Whole‑school engagement: ensuring every student feels valued and supported
Earning National Banner status is the highest honor a school can receive from Special Olympics—an acknowledgment that Gerald Adams Elementary is not just participating, but leading the way in inclusion, teamwork, and respect.
