Clubs of Ada High
F.C.A. is known as Fellowship of Christian Athletes, but that isn’t what it is really about. They meet on every Monday at lunch and they typically serve lunch to everyone, they will also be having a speaker come in every once in awhile. I think the name of it should be changed because were not just wanting athletes, we are wanting any Christians that would like to come visit, and fellowship with other Christians. They meet in the vocal room down by the band room.
Philosophy Club will be run by Trevor Robbins, a history teacher at Ada high. It will be a discussion club where students can analyze different current events. They will meet after school on Mondays starting on the fifteenth in Mr. Robbin’s room number 121.
B.P.A.or Business professionals of America is a club run by Donnieta Ray and Janet Barrick the computer teachers at Ada high. The goal of B.P.A. is contribute to the preparation of a world-class workforce through the advancement of leadership, citizenship, academic and technology skills. They will meet the first Monday of every month at lunch.

National Honor Society: Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: “To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools.” (from the NHS Constitution) These purposes also translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local chapter. Ada High School is an official chapter member of the National Honor Society. Our mission is to recognize students that illustrate an outstanding academic record. The requirement for membership is a cumulative grade point average of 3.85 (weighted) or higher.
