Today was Ada High School Picture Day, and our seniors had an important assignment: Come dressed professionally for your headshot! Blouses, button-down shirts and ties were encouraged for their class composite photos.
And our seniors? They heard the assignment and aced the test… from the waist up!
These headshots are going to look fantastic — and we have to give our Class of 2027 credit for staying true to themselves and adding a little fun along the way. After all, personality belongs in the picture, too!
Congratulations, Class of 2027, and thanks for the laughs! We can't wait to see the real photos!

Our 4th graders took a step back in time last week! Students enjoyed a field trip to Litzenberg Memorial Park, where they learned about what life was like for pioneers. From exploring the past to learning about pioneer life, our students had a fun and educational experience!
We love seeing our Bulldogs learn beyond the classroom!
