Apollo has been great for me. I transferred in as a sophomore after my family moved to Owensboro in 2022. I attended Garrard County High School and it was fine, but the opportunities at Apollo have been outstanding, particularly having the chance to join the engineering department. I have also enjoyed my time on the bowling and archery teams. It's been a great 3 years and I really haven't had any negative experiences. Thanks, Apollo.

I've loved learning at Apollo. The only thing that I don't like Apollo is the lack of diversity and differing opinions. I wish there were more points of view in the faculty. This would make teachers more relatable to students.

Overall, Apollo High School is a fine school, it wasn't for me though. Apollo is very centered in agriculture and as for someone that wasn't an AG student there really isn't a place for me. It all the school testing we did we were always almost last in the district, I feel overall our school takes agricultural classes more serious then the required courses.

I saw where Becky Winston Williams had wrote about her special Ed kids on her Facebook page. I cant believe the school board lets her work at Apollo. If I was a parent and read this I would want her Fired !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am currently a senior at Apollo high school. I have attended many schools. and not only are the teachers here great; but the atmosphere is like a really big famly. every one is accepted. I have been here for 2 years and I have yet to see a clich. if you are looking for a great school i n owensboro...
