How can I become part of the Academy of Aviation and Aeronautics?

All students interested must apply to attend SLHS's Academy of Aviation and Aeronautics utilizing the Pasco Pathways School Choice Application. Specific criteria will be outlined in the Pasco Pathways School Choice application for each program. Preferences established in the Controlled Open Enrollment Plan will be followed when the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of seats open. Students residing in district will be given preference, followed by students outside the district. Applicants are randomized and seats are filled by the number of open opportunities designated during the seat setting process. Students not placed during the lottery process will be placed on a randomized waitlist.
