August-2014
Eagle?s Nest Projects is pleased to announce the addition of Central High School, Salem, Wisconsin, to its growing family of high school campuses building and flying the Van?s RV-12 aircraft.

Founded in 1952 and with a current enrollment of 1200 students, Central High School is recognized in Wisconsin as a leader in STEM education.

RV-12 builder Jim Senft (VAF-jsenft) organized an Aviation Club at Central HS paving the way for Eagle's Nest accreditation requirements.

Great to see so many schools, donors, and volunteers getting involved in Eagle's Nest.
Locally, the Math and Engineering Coordinator at one of the area schools near GPM, Grand Prairie Municipal Airport, is working on what is needed for them to start an Eagle's Nest project next year.
Perhaps some of our retired aviation experts will be available when the time comes.
It will be exciting to see which local companies get involved.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks
