It has been a heartbreaking and difficult week for our school family.

One of our custodians, Adam Armstrong, has been missing since Monday, July 13. Adam is not simply a member of our custodial staff; he is an important and much loved part of our school community. He is cherished by students and staff alike, and his absence is being deeply felt by everyone who knows him.

The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office has identified Adam as a missing and endangered at-risk adult. Adam is 52 years old and partially nonverbal. He was reported missing from his home in Pueblo West, and there has been no confirmed sign of him at the time of this writing.

Adam is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 185 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. Unfortunately, it is unknown what clothing he was wearing when he disappeared.

The sheriff’s department has brought in search dogs and drones, while members of the community and his school family have joined the effort to find him. So many people are searching, sharing information, and praying for his safe return.

We are holding tightly to hope. Adam matters. He is valued, loved, and deeply missed by the children and adults whose lives he has touched.

If you have seen Adam or have any information about his whereabouts, please contact the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office immediately at (719) 583-6250.

Please keep Adam, his family, our school community, the search teams, and everyone working to bring him home in your prayers. Please also share the official missing-person information so that more people will be watching for him.

Adam, we are waiting, hoping, and praying for you to come home safely.
