We’re proud to share that the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce has once again recognized Ada High School with the Purple Star designation—and for the very first time, Ada Elementary has also earned this distinction!
This award reflects our ongoing dedication to supporting military-connected students and their families, particularly during times of transition, deployment, and change. To receive this recognition, schools must meet rigorous standards established by Ohio’s Purple Star Advisory Board. Earning the Purple Star designation demonstrates a strong, year-round commitment to creating a supportive and responsive environment for those who serve our country.

Our Anatomy & Physiology students recently had an incredible hands-on learning experience at Ohio Northern University during a Science Workshop Day!
Students began their visit with a walk through the university’s greenhouse before diving into three engaging lab rotations led by ONU faculty. These included a forensics lab featuring fingerprinting, a genetics lab exploring fruit fly mutations, and a cadaver lab—providing a unique, real-world look at the human body they’ve been studying all year.
It was a valuable day of exploration and discovery, and our students walked away with a deeper appreciation for the outstanding science programs offered at ONU.

Ada Schools is excited to announce a new way to stay connected with families! Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, the district will transition to ParentSquare, a unified communication platform that will replace Remind and other tools.
ParentSquare will make it easier for families to receive clear, timely updates from classrooms, activities, athletics, and the district—all in one place. Families can choose how they receive messages (text, email, app, or voice), have messages translated into their preferred language, and even customize what types of updates they receive by subscribing to specific classes, groups, or content.
Invitations for families will be sent in August 2026. We’re excited about this step toward stronger, more streamlined communication and keeping our Ada community connected!

Thank you, Sheriff Everhart, for visiting and making reading extra special!
