What Makes Our School Unique?
Apollo Junior High School opened in February 1968, serving grades 7-9. The name Apollo, as well as the mascot "Astros," was chosen to honor the three astronauts, Edward White, Roger Chaffee and Virgil "Gus" Grissom, who lost their lives when fire swept through their Apollo spacecraft on the launchpad at Cape Kennedy on January 27, 1967. Astronaut Alfred Worden attended the official dedication ceremonies in May 1968.
In 1988 Apollo became a middle school and began serving grades 5-8, which it still does.
Apollo is currently celebrating its fortieth anniversary. We look forward to continuing to serve a very diverse and growing Antioch community.
