Mark you calendars: from 5:00-6:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 7, 2023, the Ada High School Alumni Association will host a reception for the newest hall of honor inductee Greg Grimslid, 2022 scholarship recipient Kirsten Poling, and all Ada Alumni. The reception takes place immediately prior to the Ada High School boys basketball game versus Upper Scioto Valley.

The practice of holding a hall of honor banquet had lapsed, giving new assistant principal Britton Devier the opportunity to reintroduce and update a 25-year tradition.

The 2022 Hall of Honor Inductee is Greg Grimslid of Grimslid & Hood attorneys and Hardin Co. municipal judge. Hood serves as Ada’s junior high football coach and high school assistant track coach, roles he has filled for 40 years or more.

The 2022 scholarship recipient is Kirsten Poling, an Ada student who attends Ohio State University.
