Taking Flight at Aviation Week Open House ✈️

What an incredible day last Thursday, April 23rd at the Ridgeland-Claude Dean Airport Open House!

Our students showed up and represented Jasper County School District with excellence. From start to finish, they were engaged, professional, and enthusiastic ambassadors of our district.

A special thank you to Dr. Stephanie Hart, Director of the CATE Center, and Mr. John Bolsch, Aerospace/Drone Technology Instructor, for their leadership in organizing and preparing our scholars for this experience. Their commitment continues to create meaningful, real world opportunities for our students.

We are especially proud of our two state champion drone pilots, who wowed visitors with live drone demonstrations throughout the day, showcasing not only their talent, but their passion for sharing their skills with others.

This event highlighted the power of partnership, and we extend our sincere thanks to our district leaders, teachers, and the Ridgeland Claude Dean Airport team for their ongoing investment in our students. We are excited to continue this collaboration, including upcoming summer camp opportunities for our aeronautics students.
