Congratulations Ian Johnson, this week's Senior Spotlight!

"I am nominating this student because he has been accepted into Arizona State University's Aeronautical Management Technology program at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. He exemplifies the rare combination of rigorous discipline, proactive ambition, and technical aptitude to thrive in the competitive program. While many collegiate flight students wait to begin flight training upon arriving on campus, Ian has taken the initiative to complete his private pilot license training early. Navigating ground school, flight hours, weather planning and airspace mastery alongside his high school education requires exceptional time management and razor-sharp focus. This early milestone demonstrates that he isn't just pursuing a degree in aviation but actively living the career."

This week, our Seniors began signing our Commitment to Graduate wall. We are so proud of our Seniors and their hard work these past 4 years, and can't wait to see them cross that stage in May! We will be adding more signatures to the wall throughout the school year; keep an eye out for updates!
