15 minutes with teacher Zachary Dunn

Posted by Staff on Tuesday, September 5, 2023

Coordinated by the Ada Junior High-High School office staff

Bulldog Staff Spotlight

The following questions were answered by Zack Dunn, Ada High School chemistry and physics teacher. 

Q. What is the one thing you cannot resist?
A. I love a good discussion/debate. I know a lot of people view such things negatively and try to avoid them, but I think that they can be quite edifying if both parties enter into the discussion with open minds and treat each other respectfully.

Q. Where is your favorite place to be?
A. My favorite place to be is at my computer playing video games with my friends.

Q. Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?
A. I really enjoyed a trip I took with my family to Niagra Falls.  It was amazing to observe the natural beauty and power of the falls. A close second would probably be a trip I took to New Orleans for a chemistry conference.

Community Letter by Dennis Recker, Ada interim school superintendent

Posted by Staff on Sunday, August 6, 2023

The following Community Letter by Interim Superintendent Dennis Recker was posted on the Ada Schools website on August 1.

Dear Ada School Community,

Thank you for selecting me to serve as interim superintendent for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. To have had your board of education allow me to serve as the lead administrator of a district that "aspire(s) to excel in all areas of the school experience" aligns with my personal/professional belief of what a school can provide its students, staff, and community when it fulfills its obligation to provide the needed resources to provide the best education possible for their youngsters. In turn, Ada's staff will fulfill its obligation of providing the highest levels of instruction, caring, and mentoring of the students entrusted to us as administrators, teachers, coaches, advisors, and classified support personnel.
