CTE Week
We are proud to be able to continue our partnership with the City of Angola Fire Department and offer students the fire and rescue pathway. Students learn a variety of skills from EMT to fighting a blaze. We are proud of our past graduates of this program and look forward to seeing what the current class accomplishes.

In celebration of FFA Week, FFA members at AHS came together this morning to prepare and serve breakfast to our incredible teachers and staff. It was a small way to show appreciation for everything they do each day. A delicious meal and lots of smiles made it a wonderful way to start the morning! š
It is FFA Week AND CTE Month!
These two appreciation events come together to celebrate our Agricultural Program. We are proud to offer this pathway, where students can take classes such as Principles of Agriculture, Animal Science, Horticulture Science, and greenhouse and soilless production. This program helps develop skills and knowledge that prepare students to become professionals in the agricultural field and beyond.
FFA at AHS is run by our Agricultural Teacher, Hollee Lanman. FFA is a unique organization within the school that requires members to be enrolled in at least one Ag class. The organization gives students opportunities to grow in leadership and provides direction and purpose for students who take an active role in their success in agricultural education.
Today we are highlighting our manufacturing pathway. These classes are unique because they offer hands-on learning right inside our high school. Students have the opportunity to take classes such as principles of smart manufacturing, digital manufacturing systems, and Robotic Design & Innovation.
Since the inception of this program, students have earned 42 SACA Certifications and 35 OSHA 10 Certifications. Of those SACA certifications, 37 were knowledge-based (Silver) and 5 were skills-based (Gold).
So far this year, students have already earned 23 SACA certifications, including 4 Gold.
The skills students gain in these classes prepare them to step directly into the workforce and set them up for future success.

Our Education Exploration Pathway students turned learning into leadership! āØ
Each week, these future educators volunteer their time to plan and deliver engaging lessons t. On some days, our āteachers-to-beā collaborate, practice their lessons, and provide one another with thoughtful peer feedback to ensure they are fully prepared for teaching on the other days.
They taught Our Money, a five-part financial literacy unit, and they did an outstanding job! Not only did they build their instructional skills, but they also gained valuable real-world experience ā especially when it came to flexibility and problem-solving during our unpredictable winter weather. āļø
Most importantly, our high school students experienced firsthand what it meant to serve and give back to our wonderful community. We couldnāt have been prouder of their dedication, professionalism, and heart for learning.
Way to go, future educators! šš

Great job to the AHS wresting team and best of luck to Dallas Davidson for qualifing for state. He became the 3rd Angola wrestler to be a multi-time state qualifier, and is now up to 153 career wins (most in school history). He will wrestle on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis for a chance at the state podium!
Our 2nd-grade students at Carlin Park dove into an exciting hands-on science investigation all about materials! They explored different materials and their properties, including strength, flexibility, and density. Using what they learned, students took on a āWill It Float?ā challenge.
Working in teams, they designed and built boats using foam, straws, plastic spoons, and foil. Once their boats were complete, it was time to test them! Each boat was placed in water, and pennies were carefully added one at a time until splash! The boat sank!
Afterward, students discussed their results, comparing which designs held the most pennies and analyzing why some boats sank faster than others. They connected their observations back to material properties and density, deepening their understanding through real-world experimentation.
It was a fun and engaging day of learning, filled with creativity, teamwork, and scientific discovery!

Elementary students are expanding their opportunities and sharpening their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through competitive robotics programs launched this year! Students are designing, building, and programming as they prepare for competition. Hereās a quick peek at one of our teams hard at work during practice. All elementary teams will be competing later this yearāstay tuned as they put their skills to the test!
Happy President's Day- No School
Today is SRO Appreciation Day! If you see our School Resource Officers, take a moment to thank them for all they do to keep our students safe each day. We are thankful for the dedication Officer Lanoue and Officer Noll show to our schools and for our continued partnership with the Angola City Police Department and the Steuben County Sheriffās Office.
The MSDSC may not have students in the classrooms today, but it will still be filled with learning as our teachers and staff dive into learning themselves. The staff will spend the day taking classes on everything from math and AI to creative tools and moreābringing fresh ideas and renewed enthusiasm back to the classroom!
Happy CTE Month
After finding the main idea of a biography about Jackson Pollock, Mrs. Kobelakās classroom was transformed into an art studio, so students could create splatter art while listening to jazz music.
