On Wednesday, September 25, Lt. Governor Husted presented Apollo Career Center with $1.1M in Career Technical Education funds through a grant collaboratively written with Ada Exempted Village Schools and Allen East Schools.
Ada will use their portion of the grant to expand the Agribusiness & Production Systems program and to create a new Advanced Manufacturing Program. Additionally, the robotics program will be expanded in the 7th and 8th grade.
Existing classroom space will be transformed into a STEM lab for the new programs. The grant also funds equipment such as laser cutters/engravers, Miller welders, and Festo Advanced Manufacturing Training Modules and equipment.
Grants were awarded to 34 schools in a second round of announcements for 2024. Some 6,330 students are impacted by this additional funding.
