Apollo-Ridge is a rural school district located in southwestern Pennsylvania approximately 45 miles east of Pittsburgh on a single-campus site in Spring Church. The District extends to the southern border of Armstrong County, the northern border of Westmoreland County and western border of Indiana County. Five municipalities from two counties, Armstrong and Indiana, comprise the District -- Apollo Borough, Jacksonville/Blacklick Township, Kiskiminetas Township, North Apollo Borough and Young Township -- for an approximate 70 square-mile area that is populated by approximately 9,000 residents.

The District encourages parents and other community members to participate in the schools as primary partners for offering the best program possible for all students. To that end, an overarching goal is to build those alliances through well-developed, comprehensive communication that informs and invites the school community to support learning initiatives and to participate in ongoing activities.

REVISED 2009-2010 MASTER CALENDAR  

The Apollo-Ridge Master Calendar for 2009-2010 has been revised and was approved by the Board of School Directors on June 22, 2009. The revision includes removing snow days from Spring Break and inserting them in May.  The rationale for the change was to allow more instructional time prior to the start of PSSA testing.
