Mission: To be the premier public high school of choice for students in King County and the region who wish to pursue their passion for aviation and aerospace in a learning environment that prepares them for higher education, citizenship, and work.
Curriculum Features: At AHS you will take all of the core subjects — math, science, social studies, and English — all four years. Learning experiences at AHS are geared to prepare you for both college and this century’s technology-driven workplace. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about aviation from multiple perspectives through core subjects as well as seminars taught by school staff, community-college staff, and experts in the field of aviation. AHS has no PE or music program, but PE credit may be earned on an individual contract basis. You will also be connected with an industry mentor who takes a personal interest in you and your goals for the future.
Current Enrollment: 400 students
Admission Requirements: Eighth grade students who reside in the Puget Sound region can apply for admission to AHS as a school of choice. Students who reside outside the Highline School District will need to withdraw from the school district in which they currently reside because state funding follows the student to the district in which they receive educational services.
Admissions Timeline: November-April students submit applications (see school website http://www.AviationHS.org), schedule student interviews, and students & parents notified of acceptance; May-June applications accepted for “wait list.”
