Ada High School senior, Victoria Ross, says her interests vary from marching band, horses, goats, 4-H and bullying awareness.
This fall, she became a National Danforth Outstanding 4-H recipient, “in recognition of balanced personal development, qualities of constructive leadership and excellence of character.”
The award is based upon leadership, a written essay, interview and participation in 4-H.
She was recently named the Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative Ada High School student of the month.
Victoria’s 4-H involvement goes back to her elementary school years, when as a fourth grader she received the Clock Award in gardening at the state fair.

ADA - The Ada girls basketball team tipped off its season at home vs. local non-league foe Cory-Rawson Tuesday night with a 59-44 loss that was more competitive than the final score might indicate.
The Lady Bulldogs fell to 0-1 with the defeat, while C-R improved to 2-1 with the win. Having two games under its belt already at the Bluffton Holiday Invitational last weekend also helped the Hornets to be more game-ready than Ada, which was playing its first game.
"We kind of ran out of gas in the second half," said second-year Bulldog head coach Morgan Bass. "We started getting tired and making some mistakes.
The Ohio Northern University cheerleaders and their coaches will hold a high school cheerleading clinic from 1-4 p.m., on Saturday, Dec. 14, at Kinghorn Sports Center on the ONU campus.
The clinic is open to those grades 9-12. Deadline to register is Dec. 10.
Participants will work with ONU cheerleaders to learn chants, jumps, advanced stunting and tumbling techniques, and a dance created specifically for the clinic.
Participants will also perform with the ONU cheerleaders during the first half and halftime show of the ONU vs. Capitol basketball game.
