Education

Aviation High School is certified by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the training of aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs). Students who successfully complete the school's technical programs are allowed to take their FAA certification examinations without further qualification.

To achieve this, students at the school spend about three to four periods every day in "shop," technology-related classes that concentrate on aircraft's structure and systems, as well as more general aviation subjects such as aerodynamics and federal aviation regulations. These specialized classes are taught by FAA-certificated AMTs. Almost 55% of Aviation High School's teachers are alumni of the school.

Facilities and physical plant

The school's present main campus, which was completed in 1958, occupies an entire city block at the intersection of Queens Boulevard and 36th Street. The seven-story school building houses academic classrooms, specialized aviation maintenance labs ("shop classrooms"), and a hangar where most seniors try the maintenance of retired aircraft, many of which were donated by the U.S. military. In October 2000, the school also opened an extension campus at John F. Kennedy International Airport, referred to as "the Annex".

Before the completion of the Queens Boulevard campus, the school had been located in Manhattan and had been known as the Manhattan High School of Aviation Trades.

School property

The school occupies a whole block near the New York City Subway's 33rd Street–Rawson Street station, along Queens Boulevard. It is composed of seven floors, a hangar with multiple general aviation and World War II aircraft, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, and a dedicated hangar. The school is divided into two parts: one section where most administration offices and academic classrooms are located and another section dedicated to aviation maintenance labs, or "shop classes", that run from the ground floor up to the sixth. An elevator and two escalators also run throughout the seven floors of the building. Starting in the 2015–2016 school year, the school has undergone major renovations and upgrades that have included a newly renovated gymnasium, cafeteria, rooftops and windows in the auditorium, gymnasium and hangar.
