Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., is one of two Michigan high schools, and one of a few American high schools, to offer such a program.[4]
History
Davis opened in 1943. Originally it only had an aviation maintenance program, but its aviation program began in 1986.[4]
Originally the school was located in proximity to
Coleman Young Airport.[5] The school relocated to Golightly the fall semester of 2013,[4] in an effort to reduce costs,[5] and save several academic programs.[4] The original building closed. Detroit City Council member JoAnn Watson criticized the move.[6]
Academics
Students may begin flight training in the 11th grade. Since fall 2013 students of the aviation program are taken by shuttle to the hangar to flight training. As of 2013 many students complete their education at the aviation school of Western Michigan University (WMU) and at Lansing Community College.[4] In 2014 principal Nina Graves-Hicks stated that most students matriculate to WMU and Eastern Michigan University.[5]
