Augusta Regional Airport is hosting 30 students from the Richmond County School System to attend a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Aviation Career Day at the Airport!

On March 6^th, 15 students from Hephzibah Middle School and 15 students from Hephzibah High School will be visiting AGS to participate in the Airports first STEM Aviation Career Day. The students will be provided the opportunity to learn about the Aviation Industry and how STEM is important to each Aviation career.

Each student will have the opportunity to interact with staff and tour the facilities of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Control Tower, the Standard Aero maintenance hangar, the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) station, and a flight instructor with his Cessna 172 aircraft.

“The aviation industry is such an exciting and dynamic industry and many of our young people have never had exposure to or considered aviation as a career” said Roy Williams, the Airports Executive Director. “We felt that by holding a Career Day we could ignite the love of aviation which could in turn provide future careers for local area students.”

Attached is a copy of the Career Day agenda. All media wising to cover this event should contact Lauren Smith by Thursday, March 5^th by 4:30 p.m. This is an invitation only event.
