Ada High School will host a College Credit Plus meeting at 6:00 p.m. on February 15 in the auditorium. Students and parents are invited to attend the meeting to learn about the College Credit Plus program mandated by House Bill 487.
The law allows high school students to enroll in college courses while enrolled in high school, if the student meets eligibility requirements set by the college or university. Students may enroll during the school day or in the evening. If the student chooses to use the credit toward high school graduation, the cost of tuition, books, and fees will be paid by the high school.
A few tickets are still available for the 11th Annual Purse Raffle hosted by the Ada Academic Boosters and Ada Music Boosters on February 19. Purchase tickets at https://adamusicboosterfundraisers.square.site/
