Fall 2008 - West High School students
participate in the General required course
work
in order to take Airframe and Powerplant
courses offered by the
Emily Griffith
Opportunity School (EGOS). These young
students also participate in the
General Ground Handling & Operations
course.
FAA regulations come with specific
training requirements for official
credit. Students ride a bus back
and forth and breaks are kept to a
minimum. The physical location of
West High School and the EGOS training
facility at Front Range Airport make for
long days and short breaks.
The students do their
shops at the offsite satellite training
center at:
Emily Griffith Opportunity School -
Front Range Airport.
On October 9, 2008,
Jeppesen sponsored our students with a
lunch, gifts and information on their
organization. West High School students, 2
instructors; Roy Gloria and Dave Yuskewich, and 2 representatives from
Jeppesen; Tim Nave; Director of
Strategic Account and Casey Cole;
Director of Recruitment that spoke to
the West High School students.
The participants from West High School
attend the EGOS Front Range facility 2-3
times a month for their shop projects.
Once again our staff and students
appreciate all your help in providing our
participants a nutritious lunch.
The students are doing pre engine run-up
inspections and performing an engine
run-up on a twin engine Piper Senneca
and on a Pratt & Whitney PT-6 Turbo Prop
engine mock up.

Fantastic!
Thank you and congratulations to all
