Adams Football

The history of a winning tradition

As the rapidly growing community of Avon Township began to overflow Rochester High School, plans began to form around setting up a new school located in the quickly developing areas northwest of Rochester.  That school was to become Rochester Adams. Follow along with the rich history of this school, and find out how a tradition of winning is built over time.  Click on each coach to view records, stories, photos and milestones as the Rochester Adams Highlanders took the field each year.
