The following message was issued by Apollo Career Center on December 1, 2022.

Happy Holidays from Apollo Career Center!

All of us at Apollo Career Center sincerely thank you and the community for supporting Apollo’s maintenance renewal levy. The continous support we receive throughout the year is greatly appreciated and never taken for granted.

One of the ways that we serve this region is through Apollo's robust adult education programming.  We offer  Health Care, Manufacturing, Welding, Public Safety, Truck Driving and High School Diploma/GED, etc.  In 2021, which was still impacted by COVID,  students achieved 30 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) credentials, 84 Commercial Driver Licenses (CDLs), and 129 State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) credentials. This student success speaks to the commitment and quality of Apollo staff and the hard work of our students. We are proud of both.
