The Ada Icon joins Ada High School in recognizing members of the class of 2020 by posting Senior Spotlights. The first Spotlight, featuring Logan Conrad, is posted in this story.
Dan Lee, Ada High School principal said, “We wanted to do everything within our power to preserve as many of the senior class members’ experiences as possible.
“We thought a Senior Spotlight would be a great opportunity to celebrate these students,” he said.
The Spotlight feature is found on the Ada Bulldogs Facebook and the Icon will use those features on its website.
The Icon invites former residents to send greetings to Ada. Our first contributor is Matthew Scott, 1993 Ada High School grad, living in Seattle, Washington.
My message is to the seniors of Ada High School.
All of us who went to Ada HS can sympathize with what you guys are going through. Spring sports were cancelled, so those of you who were in track, baseball, soccer, etc... won't get to play your final season :(
Prom, graduation, and more have been cancelled, and you probably feel like you have been cheated out of one of the best times of your lives, which is natural.
Ada High School senior class is the winning class of the 2020 Interclass competition. The seniors compiled 1,115 points. Individual winners in the various entry categories follow:
Did you grow up in Ada, and have since moved away?
If so, we'd like to hear from you, especially since you are probably in a stay-at-home situation. Send us an email. Tell us how you are doing. And, tell us who we should send your greetings to in Ada.
Pardon our recent distracation. The Icon has a couple 15-minute interviews with ONU international students that we've not had a chance to post. Our intern, Liza Dyachuk, from Russia, conducted these in early March. We hope these students are able to continue to communicate with their family and we hope everyone is well.
