Dear Parents and students,

We have been studying the various careers in aviation.  Would you like to be a drone pilot or work for a commercial airline? What about air traffic control?  Or maybe you would like to be an engineer or mechanic.  Students also are testing their flying skills on the simulators and taking the parachute challenge. We will also have the STEM Fest this week.  It is going to be a fun week!

FLIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!
AOPA High School Flight Training Scholarships
Thanks to the generosity of the Ray Foundation, 80 exceptional high school students, ages 15 to 18, each will receive a $10,000 scholarship to pursue a private pilot, sport pilot, or recreational pilot. These awards offer our high school members the opportunity to advance into the aviation and aerospace careers they’ve always dreamed about.
