SAT & PSAT April 24, 2018 NEW DATE!
Dear Aviation High School Families,
The new year kicks off SAT (and PSAT) Prep Season! All of our juniors will take the SAT on Tuesday, April 24, 2018, right here at Aviation High School. Our sophomores will take the PSAT on that day. This administration of the exams is free for the students. The essay portion of the SAT will not be available on that day.
The OFFICIAL SAT Practice on Khan Academy
The College Board, which is the creator of the SAT/PSAT has partnered with Khan Academy to create, for the first time, an official study guide for the SAT/PSAT. This means that the best way for students to prepare for the SAT/PSAT is for students to go online and study at Khan Academy, for free! We would like all families to be aware of this and to please share this information with your children. Attached you will find a flyer about the Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy. We will also distribute these flyers to your children, so please ask them about it. Finally, Ms. DiGiorgio, our College and Career Counselor, is visiting as many classes as she can to spread the word.
The College Board is trying to make the SAT more relevant and more accessible to all students. This free sponsored training program is the first time that the College Board has created a road map to getting a higher score on the SAT. Please help our students take advantage of it.
Interesting fact about the new SAT: All of the evidenced based reading documents will be focused on science, global studies or US history.

NPR Profiles Aviation High School's JFK Annex!
Deep Inside New York's JFK Airport, There's A High School
"New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport is among the busiest in the country: More than 1,000 flights touch down and take off each day. More than 50 million passengers hurry through its gates each year.
But something else is happening too.
Not far from the waxed floors of the terminals and the automated voice proclaiming the end of the moving walkway, there's a school. And a classroom that has six wheels, two wings, and a tail. It is a Boeing 727, parked on the tarmac near the hangars and warehouses..."
