High School Aviation Program
AlphaFlight’s high school aviation program is the result of a partnership with the state of Indiana’s North Central Career and Technical Education program (CTE). This program is also recognized by AOPA for providing early access to aviation. Through this program, career training is available at no cost to students in the state. Teens focused on aviation careers participate in experiential learning, earn college credits and industry certifications.
Students have gone on to further their training as pilots, air traffic controllers and more. Cultivating young folks’ interest in aviation is our favorite part of having a flight school! We look forward to answering any questions you may have.
What to Expect from the Aviation Program
Aviation students will learn from a class instructor but also from one another. We empower our students to participate in hands-on learning in a team-oriented environment. Past students have told us about the fun they had with fellow students and the well-rounded aviation knowledge they gained.
Established in Partnership
North Central CTE’s aviation career program began with an idea from Plymouth High School counselor, John Fishback; Plymouth Airport manager, Bill Shelley; and AlphaFlight co-owner, Dan Marohn. Since 2019 this cooperative has been supported by education administrators, program directors, and the Plymouth City Council, among others.
Outcomes
Ten area high schools participate in CTE: Argos Community School, Culver Community School, John Glenn (Walkerton) School, Knox Community School, North Judson-San Pierre School, Oregon-Davis (Hamlet) School, Plymouth Community School, Rochester School, Triton (Bourbon) School, Union-North United (Lakeville and LaVille) School Corporation. (2023–2024 school year)
We’re happy to be part of this community partnership to get our youth excited about their future in aviation.
