In a grand ceremony to present the new location for Raisbeck Aviation High School, people gathered at the Museum of Flight in Tukwila where they watched student-flown airplanes land; attendants and students proceeded to walk to the school’s new site across East Marginal Way.
It has been located at a former school in the Highline District in Des Moines.
With roughly one hundred people in attendance, (including Bill Boeing Jr.) guest speakers stood at the podium and expressed their excitement over this innovative high school.
The student speakers all graduated in 2008.
“Compared to AHS,” the students agreed, “college was easy!”
All three student speakers agreed the school gave them the skills to push them through college and two of these students made it through college in just 3 years.
The mission of AHS is to prepare students for college and beyond.
“To prepare all students for college, career and citizenship through a personalized, rigorous and relevant learning experience that is facilitated in the context of aviation and aerospace,” their mission statement says.
Group work, respect, and high standards are among the core values of AHS.
