Approximately 650 sophomores in Apollo Career Center’s 11-member district will be visiting Apollo during 411Blast, Friday, Jan. 29, 2016.
Parents of sophomore students interested in attending Apollo for the 2016-17 school year are also invited to meet their student at Apollo.
This 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.

Henry means "ruler of the house." In Ada, that "house" is the local police department.
Henry, a 19-month-old German shepherd, is the new addition to the local force...and he rules that house with his friendliness. But one druggie thought otherwise.
Henry has been on the police force for only a month, but he has helped apprehend one suspect who will be charged with using illegal drugs.
But leading police to drugs is not his only job. For example, he is trained to search for articles like tossed wallets and guns, search a suspect or location, and protect his handler.
