A thank you graphic for Tom Horton, celebrating 20 Years of Service at ADM Community Schools, featuring his portrait.

Please join us in congratulating Tom Horton for 20 years of service at ADM! 


Tom Horton is the Head Boys Soccer Coach at ADM High School.  He was born and raised in Denver, CO.  He attended college at Wartburg College where he received his BA, double majoring in Public Relations and Spanish Studies, and he received his BA in Management Information Systems from University of Northern Iowa.  


Tom wanted to become a coach to share his love of soccer with younger generations, and also to help instill life skills and lessons to help kids as they move on to the next phase of their lives.  Being a positive influence on the soccer players at ADM and seeing them years later doing amazing things with their lives is what Tom enjoys most about his coaching role.


Tom initially chose ADM because of the friendship he had developed with his predecessor, Bill Shields.  He shared that the opportunity to be his assistant coach was something he couldn’t pass up.  He stays at ADM because it has become his home away from home and the staff and students are now like family to him.


Outside of school, Tom enjoys spending time with his family and coaching youth soccer at VSA. 


Thank you, Tom Horton, for your 20 years of service with ADM!
