Our elementary cadets raised $1500 during the book fair as part of the Share the Fair program which helped APA have our biggest book fair ever! All of this money went to cadets who needed a little extra help getting books and allowed each of our teachers to purchase $100 in books for the classrooms. The top earning class won the privilege of taping Capt. Stottlemyer to the wall yesterday at assembly! P.S. No Principals were harmed during the fun! #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

On Wednesday, the Junior Achievement Spotlight program helped bring community partners in to our elementary classrooms to learn more about different careers and what experiences helped lead them to those careers. Our cadets loved the experience as we work to Empower Leaders for the future! #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Congratulations to APA fifth grader, Victoria Sparks, who got to spend a day at the Indiana Statehouse for Girl Scouts Day!

Girl Scouts were able to meet with and hear directly from legislators, advocates, and civic leaders about how they create change--and how girls can, too!

Jets Varsity Track and Field team competed at Taylor University this past Friday night. Student/athletes did well and had fun while running against good competition at the meet.

“Several personal and seasons best were accomplished tonight and that was a goal of ours to achieve. Definitely proud of how the team responded when it was time to show up and represent.” – Coach Quarles

Elementary teachers reported at normal time today to make sure our building is put back together in time for cadets. Thank you, families, for being flexible this morning with our delay. We know it's inconvenient but it will allow precious time to make sure there is no disruption to the learning process. A special thank you to Jim and our maintenance crew for putting in the manual labor of moving all of our teachers' things back to their rooms in the early morning hours. We are so grateful for you! #JetPride #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Due to roof damage at 22nd St. and to allow adequate time to prepare the buildings for classes, all students K-12 will be on a 2 hour delay tomorrow, Monday, 3/16/26. All staff will report at their normal report times. Launch Pad will operate on normal schedule. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Last week, APA had an opportunity not many other schools have had. We were able to pivot and last-minute host Sectional 57 after a rain delay inside the original location! We were and are still so grateful for the opportunity to host a sectional AND then watch our team make it to the championship game. 🥹 Thank you to the IHSAA for trusting that we could do it, our AD and staff who synergized to make it happen, and to our fans for supporting us along the way. We couldn't have done it without you. We hosted easily 1,000+ fans throughout the week and sold 437 tickets just for Saturday night's final. That may seem silly to bigger schools but for this little gym, it was one little piece of Hoosier Hysteria we will keep forever. 💙 There's nothing like being a Jet and we're so proud to call The Hangar home. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Late last year, we surveyed APA families to hear reasons why they're proud of APA. APA alum, Breydon Ball, shared that APA is, "A school that pushes your to succeed!" You'll see this family of smiling faces on billboards around town.

Thank you to all who submitted! We are so appreciative of your feedback.

Do YOU have feedback you'd like to share with us? Good or bad? Please submit here and get a response from Capt. Rue: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSej63n0iR0ejoB_V2-C--2PNTfrV3Cp0XLzscLKnPoks_Ypaw/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=101821532059832335669

We had the absolute honor to host Wounded Warrior Project speaker, Danielle L. Green, on Friday. Ms. Green spoke to all Academy and Pre-Academy cadets on the topics of resilience, purpose, and mindset. She told the cadets allegories of her life growing up in Chicago, earning a scholarship to play basketball at Notre Dame, and then enlisting in the military. We are so grateful to support WWP and our nation's veterans. As an IDOE Purple Star School, we are committed to supporting our military families. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
