Welcome back APA! We are so excited to welcome cadets back into our buildings tomorrow!! Elementary families, please have patience and give grace tomorrow morning and afternoon in regards to drop-off and pick-up. We have some new staff and new students who will need extra time this first week. Don’t worry, we will become a well-oiled machine as fast as we can. Pre-Academy families, we are WILD about learning this year! We have a special first day planned by Dr. Nahlik, Capt. Trotter, Lt. Ferris, and Lt. Austin where we hope to empower our cadets to change the narrative and begin the school year with a WILD twist, camaraderie building, and a great foundation. Academy families, we know not all schedules are loaded into Skyward. We have our best people working around the clock to make sure everyone has a place to belong tomorrow morning. Lt. Och will greet everyone by the door and homerooms will be posted in the cafeteria and near the cadet entrance so cadets know where to go first thing. We will get them copies of their schedule as soon as we possibly can. If you have any questions, please email your building administrator. Elementary, afraley@goapa.org Secondary, cmiller@goapa.org. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Anderson Preparatory Academy is proud to announce our new elementary assistant principal, Capt. Michael Stottlemyer. Capt. Michael Stottlemyer is an Anderson native and has been a part of the APA family for 13 years in various capacities. He attended high school here at APA and is a proud alumnus from the class of 2015. While in college, he served as assistant to the Commandant during the summer months. For the last four years, he taught upper-level math while being involved in many extracurricular activities including class sponsorships, National Honor Society, and basketball/baseball bookkeeping. He earned his bachelor's degree from IUPUI in 2019 and a master's degree in educational leadership in 2022 from Marian University. Outside of education, Capt. Stottlemyer has a passion for astronomy, and he enjoys attending sporting events, traveling the country, and spending time with friends and family. ------------------------------------------- To the APA Community, I am excited to serve as the elementary assistant principal next fall. APA has a special place in my heart as I wouldn't be the person I am today without APA. During my time as math teacher, my philosophy was to inspire cadets to be greater than average and that philosophy will stay with me in this new role. I look forward to working with many familiar faces as well as getting to know several new ones. Each of us brings value to our school community, and together, alongside our talented faculty and staff, we will continue making our dreams take flight. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
