Chris Gdowski
On Thursday, we had a powerful conversation with Chris Gdowski, Superintendent of Adams 12 School District, who pulled back the curtain on what it really takes to run one of Colorado’s largest school systems.
Chris shared honest, behind-the-scenes insights, including:
• How the district raised graduation rates from 61% to 87%
• The financial tightrope of school funding
• Innovative career pathways that prepare students for real-world success
• Support strategies for students from diverse economic backgrounds
From budget constraints to teacher recruitment, Chris gave a transparent look at both the wins and the ongoing struggles in public education. He highlighted Adams 12’s commitment to student success and the district’s bold efforts in career and technical education.
