Supporting the Apex Technology Fund

Did you know the students and staff of Apex High will be moving temporarily to Green Level High School on June 13th, 2017 while the current building is torn down and the new school is built.  When Apex students move to Green Level, they will be in a brand new building but will not receive any new technology (computers, projectors, laptops, etc.).  This means that the computers and technology that exists at Apex now, will go to Green Level with them, then come back to the new Apex. When the school reopens in 2019, Apex High will not receive any new technology due to the construction being a "renovation project" rather than being a brand new school like Apex Friendship.

If the school's technology is currently outdated, just imagine how outdated the technology will be in 2019!  

To help raise money for purchasing new educational technology for the future students of Apex High School, two students are teaming up to host the Apex Trek4Tech 5k Run/Walk. The event will benefit Apex Technology Fund and help the students of Apex High stay up to date with technology trends. Come support a great cause and enjoy an afternoon filled with fun and excitement! Invite family, friends, classmates, teachers, and teammates. All are welcome!
