Students on the Aerospace-Pilot track have an amazing opportunity to build a foundation for flight. Many students prepare for and complete their required written FAA exam and continue to earn their private pilots license and beyond. So far 161 students (and climbing) have earned the James C. Ray scholarship giving those the gift of flight who may otherwise not been able to do so. Scholarship applications are accepted the 1st - 7th of each month.

The A&P curriculum will help students start to prepare for employment or advanced training in the commercial and general aviation industry. Instruction is designed to prepare students for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) license examinations for the General rating of the FAA Airframe and Powerplant license. The A&P curriculum will focus on broad, transferable skills, stressing basic understanding of all aspects of the aviation maintenance industry, and demonstrates elements of the industry such as planning, management, production skills, underlying principles of technology, and health, safety, and environmental issues. Students will learn technical skill proficiency, which includes competency-based applied learning that contributes to the academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning, and problem-solving skills, work attitudes, general employability skills, technical skills, and occupation-specific skills.

Avionics includes a one-year course focused on seniors with an interest in electronics. The course will prepare students for the NCATT Avionics Electricians Technician Certification. The curriculum content includes, but is not limited to, troubleshooting, understanding aircraft communications, radio navigation and radar equipment systems in accordance with regulatory and industry standards. The course content should also include training in communication, leadership, human relations, employability skills, technical and product skills, safety and environmental issues.

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations (UAS) course prepares students for entry into the UAS aviation industry. Students explore a basic understanding of the operational aspects that are key to the requirements necessary to be part of the professional UAS Aviation Industry. Students study general operational principles and flight safety requirements to perform mission flight profiles, environmental concerns, mathematics, physics, basic aerodynamics, federal aviation regulations, publications and required records.

Certifications available in UAS track: FAA Remote Pilot Certification Fusion 360 Certified User Unmanned Safety Institute Level I Certification

Technical Design provides students with instruction in the characteristics and evolution of technology, underlying principles of design, and fundamental knowledge and skills in the use of illustration and drafting software. Students will build Computer-aided Design (CAD) skills in 3D design and modelling using Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is a 3D design software that unifies design, engineering, electronics and manufacturing into a single platform. Tech Design also provides students with instruction in aerospace engineering through a series of module projects designed to expose students to the use of CAD software in the aviation industry. Students will have the opportunity to apply skills learned in class to a series of projects designed by aviation industry partners.

The Air Force Junior ROTC program is grounded in the Air Force core values of “integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.” The mission of Air Force Junior ROTC is to "Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community." Air Force Junior ROTC is not an USAF accessions program and cadets are never under any obligation to join the military. Air Force Junior ROTC is a Title 10 US Code mandated citizenship training program that is designed to educate and train high school cadets in citizenship, promote community service, instill personal responsibility, character, and self-discipline. The program achieves this through classroom education in air and space fundamentals and hands on learning opportunities in a number of fun and challenging extra-curricular activities.

The purpose of this program is to provide students with a foundation of knowledge and technically oriented experiences in the study of applied engineering and its effect upon our lives and the choosing of an occupation. The content and activities will also include the study of entrepreneurship, safety, and leadership skills. This program focuses on transferable skills and stresses understanding and demonstration of the technological tools, machines, instruments, materials, processes and systems in business and industry. This course helps students understand the field of engineering/engineering technology and prepares them for postsecondary engineering programs by developing a more in-depth mastery of the associated mathematics, science, and technology knowledge and skills. The course also includes essential concepts of technology and design, as well as concerns about the social and political implications of technological change.

This program focuses on transferable skills and stresses understanding and demonstration of the technological tools, machines, instruments, materials, processes and systems in business and industry. This course provides opportunities for students to apply their acquired knowledge and skills in engineering scenarios. The course features multiple options for providing context-based projects oriented to specific fields of engineering. This feature enables instruction in complex projects involving multi-faceted project teams by providing instruction oriented to four key engineering disciplines: mechanical, electrical, civil, and environmental.

In addition to the above courses, the Advanced Technology Applications (8601900) course is appropriate to be used for content area continuation in this program after all three credits of this program have been completed. The purpose of the Advanced Technology Applications course is to provide students with a capstone opportunity to develop a school based project from "vision" to "reality," working in teams to design, engineer, manufacture, construct, test, redesign, test again; and then produce a finished "project". This would involve using ALL the knowledge previously learned, not only in Engineering & Technology Education but also across the curriculum. See the Advanced Technology Applications framework for more information.
