Anderson Preparatory Academy

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.

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

We had the opportunity to meet Gov. Braun today and hear him speak about the amazing work that Madison County Alliance is doing to bring NextGen Workforce Development to Madison County.

We are grateful for this opportunity for our cadets and our community! #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Lt. Highsmith’s Makerspace class has been making a bang! 🚀

Our cadets dove headfirst into a Mystery Build Challenge. The twist? They were surprised with a mystery item and a mystery material and had to let their imaginations do the rest.

From stadiums and bridges to time machines and treehouses, the results were incredible! It was so rewarding to watch them flex their "4 C's":

🤝 Collaboration
🗣️ Communication
🧠 Critical Thinking
🎨 Creativity

So proud of these young makers!
