Apollo

Apollo and Tech are sending a big contingent of athletes to participate in the state track and field meet at St. Michael-Albertville Thursday-Saturday (June 9-11).

Graduates and families of graduates can get very excited about the announcement of students' names during graduation ceremonies. Because of this Tech and Apollo High Schools have traditionally asked families and students from applause and outbursts while names are announced so all names can be heard and for the process to proceed in a timely fashion.

During the summer months St. Cloud Schools often have planned maintenance and improvement projects. St. Cloud School Superintendent Willie Jett joined me on WJON today. He says they have planned HVAC work scheduled for Apollo High School this upcoming year and an improved entrance at North Junior High.

Many high school football teams will be playing their 4th game of the season tonight and that includes Apollo playing at the new Blattner Stadium in Cold Spring against Rocori. This is the first varsity football game at this new multi-use stadium.

Design images for a new Tech High School and an updated Apollo High School were presented to the St. Cloud Area School District on Wednesday night. The proposed new Tech High School would fit 1,800 students and would have 360,000 total square feet.
