Drone Technology is a dynamic high school program designed to engage students in the exciting world of aviation and drone technology through a comprehensive STEM-based curriculum. This program combines hands-on experience with theoretical knowledge, preparing students for a multitude of career opportunities in the rapidly evolving fields of drone technology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Students will use state of the art drones and simulators as they learn to fly and land drones, as well as demonstrate skill in ground school concepts in flying and landing small aircraft. 

Ground school gives students the background theory to soar during flight training.  Students learn the concepts of flight and the various factors (weather, wind, air pressure, etc.) that affect a pilot's work in the cockpit. Equipped with four state-of-the-art flight simulators, the lab provides a safe and controlled environment for students to master the fundamentals of piloting.

In addition, a fleet of drones and a specialized flight cage with obstacle courses offer real-world flight experiences. Drone skills are currently used in a variety of industries including real estate, criminal investigations, sporting events, agriculture, architecture, and visual entertainment.

The Drone Technology program opens doors to numerous career paths including engineering, aviation, coding, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, and more. The emerging fields of drones and GIS technologies offer diverse opportunities in sectors like emergency response, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and logistics.
