Approximately 650 sophomores in Apollo Career Center’s 11-member district, including students from Ada HS, will be visiting Apollo during 411Blast, Friday, Jan. 29.
Parents of sophomore students interested in attending Apollo for the 2016-17 school year are also invited to meet their student at Apollo.
The day is designed to expose students to career possibilities, and what paths are available that may lead to their career and/or college success. Students choose two programs of interest and then spend one-half day visiting those labs, meeting the instructors and participating in fun, interactive demos and activities.
