FAFSA Information Meeting on November 5th at 5:00 in the cafeteria for Seniors and parents.
On Tuesday, October 20th, the first Aviation Career Day was held at the Warrior Wellness Center in Frankfort. Our students in Mrs. Sarah Thornton's Aviation course attended the event. They were joined by students in drone programs at Adena, Unioto, and Westfall.
The event was organized by the Pickaway-Ross CTC and the instructors of each of their aviation/drone programs. A great opportunity given to our students. Thanks to PRCTC and all the other professionals that made the event possible.
The Aviation course at Zane Trace has been around for 7 school years. Students taking the course can get experiences that include a flight simulator, drones, and a variety of field trips that would give them real-world experiences in aviation.
