ELIDA, Ohio (WLIO) - Apollo held their Seniors Honors Night to celebrate the 2026 seniors.
Families packed the field house to support their 2026 Apollo grads as the Apollo Career center held Seniors Honors Night. Apollo allows students to learn career programs through an immerse hands-on environment.
Tonight, each apollo grad accepted their certificate of their field, and were able to walk during the graduation ceremony. 450 students from all surrounding lima schools attend apollo and are able to walk during their home high school graduation to accept their diploma as well.
"Tonight is our Seniors Honors Night, our version of graduation while our home schools, our associate districts are the ones that give the actual high school diplomas. Students here tonight will earn their program completer certificate. It's everything that graduation is, just without the diploma part," says Nick Sammetinger, high school principal at Apollo Career Center.
As students leave Apollo, they not only leave with their certificate, but a career ahead of them.
