North Adams Jr/Sr High releases third-quarter honor roll, dozens recognized

North Adams Jr/Sr High put at least 178 students on its third nine weeks honor roll before the 10th-grade section even began, a heavy turnout for a 7-12 school with 462 students, 27 classroom teachers and a 17.11 student-teacher ratio at 96 Green Devil Dr. in Seaman. The list split recognition between All A’s and All A’s and B’s, showing that strong grades reached well beyond a small cluster of top performers.

That kind of public recognition fits the school’s stated mission, which says North Adams High School wants students to exhibit empathetic character while attaining excellence through diverse learning opportunities and academic rigor. It also lines up with Ohio School Report Cards, which are designed to give parents, caregivers, community members, educators and policymakers information about school performance and areas for improvement. In a rural-remote district, a long honor roll is more than a congratulatory note, it is a concrete measure of classroom consistency.

The roll call also showed familiar Adams County names moving through the grades. Seventh grade included Colton Crawford and Tatum Crawford, while the 10th-grade list featured Ellie Bosko, Kinsley Fogle, Bethany Gibson, Bella Gray, Alyssa McAdams, DJ McNown, Kylee Moore, Washynee Nehus, Addison Ormes, Lilly Parker, Ava Pemberton, Caralyne Reed and Emma Stambaugh. Repeat surnames such as Crawford, McNown, Raines, Watters and Winkler gave the list a multigenerational feel, a sign that academic habits are holding across classes and siblings.

North Adams has made the same third-quarter recognition a spring tradition, with similar honor roll releases in April 2025 and April 2024. For a district where scholarships, class standing and the school’s public reputation all start with sustained grades, this year’s list reads as a straightforward snapshot of who kept pace through the third quarter and who set the tone for the next one.
