Faculty Mr. Joseph Bennett, Principal, has had II enjoyable years at Apollo High School, but he says, “the 80-81 school year has been the best.” Mr. Bennett deserves a great amount of credit for all hc s done for Apollo. In the past 2 years, Apollo has excelled in academics and sports. We owe a lot of that to Mr. Bennett. He wishes to thank all of us for always offering our support and help, because Apollo wouldn't be such a great school without it. New to Apollo this year is Mr. George Sisemore, Dean of Students. Sisemore admits feeling much like an outsider in his first few weeks at Apollo. But after his concert he felt much more a part of our school. After 18 years working at other schools, he says he’s happier here then any other school. Assisting Mr. Sisemore is Mr. Sid Bailey, also in his first year. Mr. Bailey is very happy working at Apollo. He particularly enjoys the maturity of the student body and the pride they exhibit in the school. Our assistant principal is Mr. Will Gon ales. Mr. Gon ales has been associated with Apollo since its opening. Much credit can be given to Mr. Gon ales for increased spirit and improvement in our sports programs. Hopefully with his help, Apollo can continue to be the great school it is. Top-lcfl to rijjhl: Mr. Sisemore. Mr. Conrales, Mr. Bennclt. and l)r. Welsh.
