A vivid pool of amethyst robes glowed amid the gathering of family and friends who came to celebrate the Ada High School class of 2022 at commencement ceremonies on Sunday, May 29. The warm afternoon had graduates and their guests fanning their faces, while speeches and the presentation of diplomas brought some tears and some laughs.

Sixty-seven seniors became graduates, certified by principal Dan Lee and presented with their diplomas by Board of Education president Amy Mullins. A moment of silence was held in loving memory of Garrett Rettig, a classmate who died on December 22, 2021, and his diploma was awarded posthumously.
