The Aerospace/Hydrospace Engineering & Physical Sciences School at Fairchild Wheeler Campus is a premier magnet high school dedicated to preparing students for careers in engineering, physics, and environmental sciences. As a proud recipient of the Magnet Schools of America School of Distinction award, we are recognized nationally for our commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and diversity.

Our curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire. Students explore the frontiers of aviation, aerospace engineering, and civil engineering, while engaging in hands-on design projects, and applying scientific principles to solve real-world problems. Through partnerships with industry leaders and higher education institutions, students gain access to cutting-edge technology, mentorship opportunities, and college-level coursework.

We foster a learning environment where curiosity takes flight—on land, in the air, and beneath the sea.

Vision

The Aerospace/Hydrospace and Physical Science High School, an institution that fosters an inclusive campus culture that embraces diversity, civility and multiculturalism, will prepare its graduates to solve problems and apply new technologies within an interconnected and evolving global environment.

Mission

The mission of the Aerospace/Hydrospace and Physical Science High School is to build an academic community whose members have diverse cultures, backgrounds and life experiences and educate those students in ways that lead to fulfilling careers and to create a culture for passionate investigators to develop solutions for the global community. We work to educate the nation's future leaders in engineering and prepare them for professional that have yet to exist.   Further, we seek to expand the frontiers of engineering and to encourage technological innovation while fostering academic excellence and scholarly learning in a project-based learning environment.

Core Beliefs
  • Our environment values and models character, academics and relationships
  • Work to consistently safeguard the safety, dignity and well-being of all its members.
  • A static curriculum is a dying curriculum.   Revision and development with field experts ensures that the education we provide is current and thematic based.
  • In providing our teachers with high quality, discrete magnet professional development. 
  • Diverse backgrounds and ideas are crucial to academic excellence
  • All children have the potential to achieve if provided with individualized instruction.        
  • College and career are by-products of our school and children must have experiences with both.
