A Message from the Principal

  • cassie Dear Apollo Families:
     
    I'm delighted to welcome all of our students back into our building for the 2022-2023 school year at Apollo.

    Here, you will find a sense of family unparalleled in other elementary schools. Our diversity makes us strong, and it’s that diversity that makes Apollo such a special place to be.
