AVIATION HIGH SCHOOL TO OPEN, THANK GATES
Washington State's first aviation-themed public high school,
Aviation High School, will open its doors this fall, thank$ in
part to a gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The
school is expected to become "a state and national model,"
according to its organizers, thanks to its focus on high standards
for student achievement. The school's goals include sending 100
percent of its graduates on to postsecondary education, preparing
them thoroughly to be competitive in aviation careers, and
encouraging parent participation, mentoring and industry support.
The school's location has not yet been selected, but it will be in
Puget Sound's Highline School District, near Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport and Boeing Field.
