Bob Hoover Academy (BHA) has partnered with the Monterey County Office of Education (MCOE), Alternative Education Department to create the SAFE Flight program under the umbrella of their Career Technical Education portfolio.

This has truly taken our prototype after-school program and catapulted it to the next level – the current template for the program exceeds all of our original expectations and enables us to have an even more profound and holistic impact on each student.

BHA is now just the catalyst to the entire program, providing for all aspects relating to student flight and aviation ground training operations as well as consulting services to help develop the aviation related educational curriculum within SAFE. Everything else is coordinated and funded thru MCOE.

The resources that MCOE brings to the table are immense:

• A full high school curriculum geared towards STEM and aviation;
• Computers for every student;
  Full access to student schedules around flight training operations;
• Field testing of new AOPA high school aviation curriculum;
• All transportation logistics;
• Regular sessions with a psychotherapist for each student;
• Concurrent enrollment at Hartnell Community College;
• College and Career Placement Advisor

All this to earn an accredited High School Diploma!
