Dear Ada Community,
It didn’t take me long to learn that our vision of “Aspiring to excel in all areas of the school experience” is not just words.
Ada Schools really lives this vision. We share it with students and staff alike, and refer to it when making decisions. Recent successes at Ada Schools include improvements in technology, significant increases in the number of College Credit Plus courses offered on campus, a new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) series of classes, additions to middle school electives, and continued implementation of the Literacy Collaborative to improve reading skills for elementary students.
When a new project is undertaken on an old one renewed, it is the result of the keen interest and lively enthusiasm of a few individuals. A small group composed of such persons is responsible for the renewed interest in an Ada High Annual. It is with sincere appreciation and praise that we dedicate this issue of the “ADA WATCHDOG” to that small but industrious group. This was the return of the Ada high school yearbook after some years without one.
ADA - The Ada volleyball team swept Perry Monday night in a non-league battle.

For the second consecutive week, former NCAA All-American and senior cross country runner Ian McVey represented Ohio Northern as the Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week.
McVey finished third overall out of 302 total competitors and was the top finisher for the Polar Bears at the Calvin (Mich.) Knight Invitational Saturday. His time of 25:06 guided Northern to an 11th-place finish in the team standings out of 23 competing schools and marked the fastest time among runners from NCAA Division III institutions.
