We are excited to host the Indiana School Safety Specialist Academy (ISSSA) Advanced Regional Training tomorrow (5/12/2026) at Angola High School! Personnel from our schools, other schools, and emergency services from surrounding communities will be attending this training to learn and share best practices for keeping our school communities safe.
As training activities take place throughout the day, community members may notice an increased presence of emergency vehicles around the high school between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Thank you for your support as we work together to continue strengthening school safety.
The Angola Middle School National Junior Honor Society took its philanthropy spirit into the community by partnering with Angola Parks and Recreation for a project at Commons Park. Students rolled up their sleeves to remove dead trees and plant new ones, helping to beautify the park for all to enjoy. Their hard work, teamwork and positive attitude made the day both productive and memorable. These students were definitely not afraid to get their hands dirty and brought laughter to this endeavour.
These students showed what leadership and service are all about. Great Job NJHS!

Angola High School seniors could be seen around town this morning as they participated in the annual “Day of Caring.” Students spread mulch at Friendship Park, picked up trash, and cleaned out flower pots at the mound and along the path through town. They also volunteered their time at Northern Lakes Nursing Home and The Heritage Club.
It is inspiring to see our seniors take pride in their community and give back by getting their hands dirty to help make Angola shine!

Ms. Ice’s class participated in the annual Egg Drop last week! Students were challenged to use basic supplies to engineer a basket and a parachute that would keep an egg from cracking when it landed. Precision also played a role as students aimed to land their creations on a target worth the highest number of points.
This fun, hands-on project gave students the opportunity to explore the concepts of lift, weight, thrust, and drag while putting their engineering skills to the test. It is definitely one of the most anticipated projects of the year!

Good morning. We want to inform our community of a bus accident that occurred while students were being transported to Impact classes in Kendallville. Emergency personnel responded immediately and assessed all students and the driver, and we are able to report that no one was injured.
A replacement bus was dispatched to continue transportation to their vocational classes. We extend our sincere thanks to our emergency personnel for their quick and professional response.

School Lunch Hero Day: We appreciate all of the good meals you prepare each day to serve our students. You really make a difference in their lives. Thanks for a job well done!
Students at Ryan Park brought creativity to life during their reading unit. They took ideas from their stories and transformed them into chalk drawings outside the school, sharing their learning not only with each other, but with the entire school community.
Students in Mrs. Pugh’s class have had some very special guests over the past few weeks! Students from Trine University’s storytelling class brought their learning right into our classroom, sharing stories in a variety of creative ways. Some read their favorite childhood books, others told stories they had written themselves, and some recited classic tales.
Our kindergarteners listened, laughed, and eagerly participated. They were completely captivated by the experience!
We are so thankful for our partnership with Trine University, which creates meaningful opportunities for both their students and ours.
