Aviation!! It is more than just being a pilot…


Aviation 1 is now enrolling for 2026-2027 school year! Students enrolled in Aviation 1 will earn 6 dual enrollment credits with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Semester 1, students will learn all about aviation: history of aviation, navigating from airports and in the traffic pattern, air craft design, weather theory and services, and weight and balance. Semester 2, students will learn about how drones operate and how to fly them. See some recent photos of students practicing flight maneuvers below. Students will also go on field trips to air shows, local colleges and aviation industry businesses, and learn from guest speakers. Click here to complete a quick form to let us know that you're interested.

Students must be enrolled in Monday/Thursday cohort so that you can take Aviation 1 classes on Tuesday/Friday in addition to your regular class load. Please contact the instructor, Jessi Snyder (jsnyder@davincischools.org) with any questions!

A Message from our Senior Committee Advisor, 
Ms. Emma

We are excited to begin planning meaningful celebrations for the Class of 2026 as they approach the end of their high school journey! Families can support the senior class through voluntary donations to our partner, Network for Good.


All funds raised go directly toward Senior Week (the week of May 18) and the Senior Brunch on graduation rehearsal day.

To donate, please visit this link and follow these steps:

1. Select your donation amount and frequency.
2. From the drop-down menu, select "04 Da Vinci Connect High".
3. Add the comment: "Funds are for the Da Vinci Connect High Senior Class".

We recognize that not every family can contribute financially and will share other ways to support the Class of 2026 later this semester. For questions, please contact Emma Gressett at: egressett@davincischools.org.
