Apollo Career Center Advanced Manufacturing Program

Our competitors are getting started on day two for Tech Drafting and day one for Automated Manufacturing at SkillsUSA Nationals. Let’s go!!

Today we celebrated the Adult Ed side of the machine shop here at Apollo. Steve Downey has been a full-time teacher, mentor, high school substitute, and most of all, a friend for the last 17 years here at Apollo Career Center Adult Education. Steve retired in 2007 after 34 years at Lima Ford Engine plant as a toolmaker and came to Apollo in 2008. Tonight we celebrated his retirement; his wife, a few friends, and former students stopped by to wish Steve well.

We appreciate all that you have done for the high school and adult side over the years. The knowledge you have passed along has been tremendous. We cannot say thank you enough! Enjoy your retirement!! You have earned it!
