SAHS Academy of Aviation and Aerospace
Academy of Aviation and Aerospace (SAHSAERO)
In partnership with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, St. Augustine High School’s Academy of Aviation and Aerospace gives students a launch point into STEM careers in aviation and aerospace. The pathway begins with the math and science foundations of flight, building and programming drones, troubleshooting aircraft components, and designing and launching rockets. It provides flight simulator experience and hands-on training with professional-grade drones, then continues into Embry-Riddle dual enrollment, where students can earn up to 15 college credit hours. Students walk away with industry certifications in USI Small Unmanned Aircraft Safety, Visual Line of Sight System Operator (VSO), and FAA Private Pilot. From there, graduates are positioned for careers in piloting, UAV operation, airport operations, air traffic control, and aviation maintenance within Northeast Florida’s aviation and aerospace target industry. Enroll in the Academy of Aviation and Aerospace and begin your path to the sky!
