Rising Aviation Celebrates New School

The Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially welcome Rising Aviation High School to the Addison community. Mayor Joe Chow and Mayor Pro Tempore Guillermo Quintanilla helped welcome the school to Addison. They were joined by Airport Director Joel Jenkinson, Economic Development & Tourism Director Orlando Campos, Economic Development Manager Wilson Kerr, and Tourism Manager Alisha Holmberg. 

Located on the west side of the Addison Airport, Rising Aviation educates high school students who have career aspirations in aviation, wish to expand their aviation industry skill set, or simply want a challenging educational experience in a safe and secure private school setting. The school utilizes 20+ years of alternative educational expertise and has created a unique blended learning model that they call STEAM - Science Technology Engineering Aviation Math.

More information on the school can be found at www.risingaviation.com. The Town is excited to have the only high school of its kind in North Texas here in Addison helping to develop the future labor force in aviation.
