Using the Power of Flight to Change Lives.
The Bob Hoover Academy creates opportunities that inspire under-served teens to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education and to take flight in aviation. Aviation is a metaphor for the deeper mission, which is to capture students’ minds, focus their energies, and to cultivate success in the classroom and in life.
We believe that an investment in Bob Hoover Academy (BHA) is an investment in our community and in the success of our students. We train at-promise students to fly airplanes with world-class aviation curriculum while they earn a high school diploma. We had a 100% graduation rate last year! In our Aviation Maintenance Program, students build a kit CubCrafter airplane.
Our program is to inspire our students to change the trajectory of their lives by giving them confidence in themselves with hope and plans for their future. We rely on your donation to offer the very best programming to our students. Our students learn with aviation superstars while they foster bonds with dedicated local pilots. With your help, we would like to grow our food and wellness program, continue to provide driver’s training and field trips. Thank you for helping us to give that much more!
The Bob Hoover Academy (BHA) has changed my life forever. Prior to attending BHA I had no experience flying and a poor academic record. As a BHA student, I was the President of the Student Council, I graduated with a high GPA and passed my written exam working towards my private pilot's license. As a BHA student I went on field trips that taught me about nature and my role as a caretaker of the environment. BHA has helped me transform myself into being the best possible person I can be on the ground and in the air.
