Student Alumni To Fly In As One-Of-A-Kind School Celebrates
Beginning of New Era
Aviation High School will break ground on its new campus on the
grounds of The Museum of Flight on Tuesday, Aug. 23 complete with
student alumni flying five or more planes to the site, and a
student-built robot assisting with the first shovel of dirt.
New Building Artists Concept
The student-flown planes will land at Boeing Field in Seattle,
WA, immediately in front of The Museum of Flight at approximately
10:30 a.m. The students will proceed across the street to the
groundbreaking celebration, to be held at 11:00 a.m. at the future
high school site, just north of The Museum of Flight’s
airpark on East Marginal Way. Students from Aviation High
School’s robotics team will operate the robot. To end the
program, students will launch a model rocket they built to signify
the official “launch” of the new Aviation High
School.
Aviation High School, part of Highline Public Schools but open
to students across the region, has been in temporary locations
since it opened in 2004. The new facility is being built in
collaboration with The Museum of Flight. In addition, Aviation High
School was the first college preparatory aviation-themed high
school in the nation and is dedicated to becoming the premier
school of choice for science, technology, engineering and math
learning in the region. The new school is expected to open in 2013.
