Aerospace & Engineering

Discover Your Passion: From Flight Plan to Maximum Altitude!

Johnson Aerospace and Engineering is the SPPS Aerospace and Engineering STEM magnet program.  All ninth grade students are exposed to the field of engineering and the thinking of engineers in the PLTW Essential Engineering course.  Freshmen also create their flight plan for their future in Freshman Focus (or AVID 9).  They explore careers, post secondary options, values, skills, and interests while creating a resume and a four year high school plan.  From there they move on to a Career Pathway of their choice and continue learning about careers in their area of interest.  In Junior Frameworks students continue their career exploration, post secondary selection, and complete a mock interview and e-mentors.  Students have a wide range of academic opportunities, ways to engage with the world of work, and groups/clubs/athletics.  All students in the district are eligible to attend Johnson Aerospace and Engineering.
