2014 AHS graduate
By Bailey Bowers

You just graduated from Ada High School this May and you’re headed to Ohio State Lima in the fall to major in pre-health. Tell us more about that.
I chose OSU because with the amount of times that I have had the opportunity to visit Lima’s campus, I have been able to see many of the amazing things I could do with the medical program. I plan on living at home for two years and then I will be moving to main campus to finish my program.

Our feature is the Ada First Presbyterian Church on the corner of Main and Lincoln.

Presbyterians were among the first to settle in Ada, so it was only natural for a church to be constructed. The original Presbyterian Church was completed in 1864 and dedicated in 1867.
