Junior Melina Woods led Ada with a dozen kills, 16 digs and added two aces. Classmate Maddie Gossard passed out 15 assists, served five aces and hit four kills.

Ada Library Digitizing Ada H.S. Yearbooks

Where are the Ada High School yearbooks?! They've disappeared from the shelves at the Library!!

Never fear, in an attempt to make more of our collection accessible to all via the web, we're sending out Ada High yearbooks to be digitized! The yearbooks will be gone for roughly 2 months, then some time later this fall, or early winter, we will unveil the yearbooks on our website--that means access to our yearbook collection 24/7!

Thanks for your patience while this part of the collection is temporarily gone.
