Not calling anyone my favorite but this outstanding student-athlete is definitely one of my faves! His growth from a 7th grader to a young man is phenomenal! He’s going straight to the top and I am grateful to have been a part of his journey. 🫶🏼 Apollo JH Athletics Apollo STEAM Academy

She might not call favorites but I'll do, this woman has helped me develop into the young man I and today, I normally like to say she is like my school mom but she is more than that, she's the best teacher there is 💗💗

Seeing some of my OG Apollo kids grow up to be THRIVING young ladies is literally what it is all about! One of the best sites is seeing them running to me and yelling “Ms Meador!!!” It never gets old! 🥹 Apollo STEAM Academy Berkner High School STEM Academy
