Akron Public Schools (APS) in Ohio received a hefty contribution from a local labor union, which forged a partnership brokered by DistrictWON that also includes informing students and the community about opportunities that exist in the building and construction trades industry after graduation.

More than 200 of Akron Public Schools fall sports athletes made the Academic All-City team, meaning they were varsity athletes who achieved a 3.4-grade-point average or higher this fall while competing in athletics.
