BELOW AHS Signing Day YouTube video from Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance

FROM FACEBOOK__Last week, Ada High School hosted its “3E” Assembly, recognizing and celebrating members of the Class of 2026 as they prepare for life after graduation.

Ohio high schools are actively hosting “3E” (Enrolled, Enlisted, Employed) signing events to honor graduating seniors committing to college, the military, or the workforce. At Ada, students proudly signed to declare their plans for the next step in their journey after high school.

The assembly welcomed keynote speaker Matt Jennings, CEO of Quest Federal Credit Union, who shared valuable insight about education, career pathways, and future success. Holli Underwood, President of the Hardin County Chamber & Business Alliance, also spoke to students about the importance of giving back to their communities and the value of service.

One of the most impactful parts of the event took place after the assembly, when current 7th and 8th grade students had the opportunity to ask seniors questions, hear their stories, and learn more about planning for their own futures after high school.

We are incredibly proud of these students for making positive decisions now that will help guide them toward successful futures. Congratulations, Class of 2026 — you are making Ada proud!
