Like last year, Ada High School graduating seniors will perch themselves along Main Street later this spring.

This year there are 56 graduates who will have their senior banner displayed.

“We are hoping to have them completed once again with the help of Linda Crawford of The Way I See It Photography by the first weekend of May,” Jennifer Wince told the Icon.

“All banners have been donated by the Ada community similar to last year,” she said, adding a special thank you to donors.
