Apollo Career Center superintendent Keith Horner has issued the following invitation to the communities served by the ACC high school:

Greetings from Apollo Career Center!

This is your official invitation to one of our biggest celebrations. We are always excited this time of year because of the great events ahead: Signing Day, National Honor Society Induction and Senior Honors Night.

One that may be of particular interest to you is ApolloPalooza, Thursday, April 13, 5:30-7:00 p.m. ApolloPalooza is a campus-wide, community celebration of partnerships, programs, students, alumni, community members and career tech education. Apollo Career Center, unlike most public schools, does not have the traditional extracurricular activities that allow us to open the building to the public. Furthermore, high school and adult classes are happening day and night so the campus is always in use. For ApolloPalooza, all labs and classrooms, adult education and high school, will be open for tours, demos and hands-on activities.
