Oakland Aviation High School
Our Mission
To provide a rigorous educational program that prepares students for success in college and develops the technical skills and personal qualities necessary for a successful career in aviation and business, and
to hold high expectations for students and staff focused on our common interest in developing highly successful learners, educators, aviators and business people. We personalize the educational experience to develop character, intrinsic motivation and technical proficiency in our consistent movement toward attaining our personal best in every situation.
Description:
We are a comprehensive high school that prepares students for success in college and a career in aviation or business. Students who graduate from our program will be able to choose to continue their studies at a four-year university, or to enter the workforce directly after graduation.
We have small classes (20 or less), and a developed advisory program. Our courses will be taught according to accepted best practices, and we only hire the highest quality professional educators. Students will choose one of three major areas of concentration: Aviation Maintenance Technology; preparation for a career in business or international trade; or a personalized business internship program.
We will enroll 65 students for each grade level 9-12. We started enrolling our first 9th grade cohort in September 2006. In 2007 we added a second 9th grade class, and in 2008 we added a third.
History:
