(Parent) Chief Bearskin Aviation High School Survey
The Chief Bearskin Aviation High School in Wyandotte Public Schools is creating a comprehensive STEAM academy themed around aviation and aerospace.
Working with the Pawnee Nation College, Nebraska Indian Community College, and industry partners from both the public and private sectors, BAHS will capitalize on Wyandotte’s geographic location and Chief Bearskin's rich history in flight to create a program for high school students. Starting with an inaugural freshman class and with a vision to become a stand alone academy, students will engage in a STEAM-focused curriculum with an emphasis on aviation and aerospace.
Students will also have opportunities for ancillary hands-on career and industry experiences that will transform the traditional education environment to authentically connect student learning to high-tech industry readiness. BAHS is committed to providing this opportunity to all students and ensuring that enrollment in the program mirrors the demographic and socioeconomic makeup of our district as a whole.
Already a national leader in the industry, Oklahoma has a critical demand for highly skilled and trained workforce, yet ranks near the bottom nationally in terms of STEAM education. This program will provide industry-connected education pathways for Oklahoma students to connect directly with higher education, career tech, and industry partners, ensuring career readiness in the high-demand areas of aviation and aerospace. Wyandotte Public School is proud to partner with so many leading institutions to help grow Oklahoma’s already robust aviation and aerospace economy and work toward cementing its place as a premier destination for industry leaders.
