Aviation High School - Long Island City, New York

Dear Parents, Families, and Students of the Class of 2026,

Congratulations on your acceptance into Aviation High School! You are now a part of a wonderful, supportive, and successful school community. As we like to say, welcome to the Aviation Family!:)

You will be joining us for our 87th school year and we look forward to seeing the energy, ideas, and enthusiasm that you bring to your new school! The staff, students, and I have been working on creating a welcoming environment to help you with your transition from middle school to high school! As you will see in our online videos, Aviation High School is comprised of academic, arts, language, physical education, and aviation maintenance courses! Our program is a very unique high school experience that is normally taught at the college or post-secondary technical school level, and I have no doubt that each of you will enjoy learning about our Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) program, various courses, clubs, sports and overall school culture!

I am sure you are looking forward to getting to know everything about your new school. There are still many details to be shared with each of you about the 2022-2023 school year, and we will definitely stay in touch with everyone throughout the summer as our plans solidify. Whatever the new school year brings you can rest assured that our staff, students, and families are all looking forward to meeting each of you and welcoming you to Aviation High School! My team and I will be providing everyone with updated information and details regarding the new student orientation that will take place on Thursday, September 1, 2022. Additionally, your first day of school at Aviation High School is Thursday, September 8, 2022!

I hope you enjoy the information we have created for you. Please review the presentations and videos, and check your email over the summer months for the latest updates to our new student resource page. Our administration and I are always available through email, so please contact anyone of us if you have any questions or concerns about the start of the 2022-2023 school year.

The pandemic is not fully behind us yet, we may face additional challenges ahead, and we may not be perfect, but the great success of our community is built upon the love and dedication we have for all members of our school community, a community that I am very pleased to welcome you to!

Welcome Class of 2026! I look forward to welcoming each of you to our school this fall!

Sincerely,
