Wright Middle adds more flight simulators
Wright Middle School opened a new flight lab that will provide advanced training for aspiring preteen pilots.
The school converted an old metal shop classroom, adding 22 high-tech computers with flight simulators that allow students to fly solo or in formation with their peers.
The new lab complements a beginning flight program now in its second year at the school. The 400 students signed up for the Wright Math, Science Technology and Aviation Magnet have access to the labs, Principal Stephen Rochelle said.
“This allows us to further the kids along the career pathway,” Rochelle said. “These are the kids who will take the beginning class to another level.”
