Today we pause to remember and honor the lives lost, the heroes, and the strength of our nation on September 11, 2001.
Thursday's Game Day line up! Let's cheer on the Bulldogs!
Students in Mrs. Salyer’s Modern America class recently had the opportunity to hear a firsthand account from Army veteran and Ada High School graduate, Mr. Gary Wells.
Mr. Wells graciously shared his story of enlisting in the Army in 1987—from basic training and assignments at various bases to specialized training, testing, career growth through the ranks, and his experience serving. He served in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, two major operations of the Gulf War.
Students learned about his missile training and the work his troop completed as they moved throughout the region during his deployment. They also asked thoughtful questions, creating meaningful conversations about military service, dedication, sacrifice, and life during deployment.
More than simply learning dates and timelines, students were able to connect history to a real person and a real experience. Mr. Wells’ stories encouraged personal discovery, reinforced the importance of family values, and gave students a glimpse into the hard work and commitment required of those who serve.
Firsthand stories like these bring history to life and give real meaning to the events and timelines students study in the classroom. The Modern America course is a new elective this year- offered to juniors and seniors that focuses on U.S. history from 1989 to present.
As the Modern America course continues throughout the year, Mrs. Salyer welcomes others with military or political experience and firsthand stories from 1989 to the present who may be willing to connect with the class and share their experiences.
A special thank-you to Mr. Wells for taking the time to share his story with our students!

Tonight's competitions! Let's cheer on the Bulldogs!
Mr. Acheson’s high school VEX Robotics classes spent last week getting hands-on with robotics! Students worked together to build a test bed and program motors, putting their engineering and coding skills to work.
These experiences give students the opportunity to test ideas, solve problems, and learn from the process. We can’t wait to see what they build next!
Ada Schools will be closed on Tues. Sept. 8 so our students, families, and staff can enjoy all the fun and tradition of the Hardin County Fair.
We hope to see you supporting our students in the shows, cheering at the events, and making memories at the fairgrounds!

This week in Bulldog Athletics!
Friday, September 11th holds special meaning for our country — and this year, the Ada Bulldogs are honoring it in a big way. Join us as the Ada Bulldogs take on Van Buren for Military Appreciation Night, honoring the men and women who protect us here at home and around the world: our veterans, active-duty military, and first responders.
📅 Friday, Sept. 11, 2026
📍 Ada War Memorial Stadium
🏈 Kickoff: 7:00 PM
All veterans, active-duty military members, and first responders (police, fire, EMS) are invited to attend as our special guests. We'll be honoring them with a pregame ceremony, and veterans and those currently serving are invited to join us on the field during the National Anthem.
The Ada Youth Cheerleaders will join the High School Cheer Squad to help make this night one to remember.
On this solemn anniversary, come out, cheer on the Bulldogs, and help us show our gratitude to those who have served and sacrificed — and those who continue to answer the call every single day.

Last Friday, our middle and high school students celebrated the start of the school year with a pep rally! This event gave us a chance to bring everyone together, show some school spirit, and recognize all of our fall athletes.
Thoughout the year we’ll be cheering on our Bulldogs in the classroom, on the field, in their studies, and in their personal growth!
We hope everyone had a great second week back and has a relaxing long weekend ahead!

Game Day for the Bulldogs!
This school year, we’re excited to offer girls’ strength training led by Mrs. Bass—and the students have shown up ready to work!
This group of girls put in the work all summer in the weight room and have chosen to continue that hard work during the school day. Their dedication is helping them become stronger athletes, reduce their risk of injury, and build confidence, discipline, and strength that will benefit them far beyond the playing field or court.
We’re proud of you! Go Dogs!

Tonight's (9/2) Matches: JH Volleyball at 5:30 p.m. and Varsity Boys Soccer at 7:30 p.m. Let's cheer on the Bulldogs!
Allow us to introduce you to The Cool Kids! Mrs. Lee’s first graders kicked off the school year by giving their classroom a name—and the choice was all theirs!
When students help name their classroom, they’re doing more than picking a fun name. They’re creating a sense of belonging, teamwork, and shared ownership from the very beginning of the school year. What starts as a teacher’s classroom quickly becomes their classroom—a space where they learn, grow, and make memories together.
We can’t wait to see all the learning and fun that happens in The Cool Kids Room this year!

Our school buses are now equipped with:
✅ Fully illuminated stop signs

We are grateful for the funding and everyone who helped make these important safety improvements possible. We remain committed to providing safe transportation for our students each day.
