Picture of students with helicopter and pilotsA helicopter flew in to give high school Aviation Sciences students at JATC North a hands-on lesson in becoming professional pilots. Instructors say offering aviation courses to high school students is more important than ever, as the airline industry is struggling with a national pilot shortage. Students in the Aviation Sciences program at JATC North can receive up to 12 college credits on their path to becoming professional pilots.

Flight instructors from Southern Utah University flew in and gave students an up close and personal lesson on the helicopter. The hope is to introduce the teens to a variety of opportunities right now in aviation and air transportation, especially with such a high demand for professional pilots nationwide.

Fox 13 Dream Team Has Big Surprise for Two Employees with Very Big Hearts

Posted on

It is a day Milonie Taylor and Robyn Luke will likely never forget. Both women are passionate about running Principal’s Pantries, making sure the pantries are stocked with anything a student or family might need. Milonie runs the Principal’s Pantry at Copper Hills High and Robyn runs the Principal’s Pantry at West Jordan High.

Fox 13’s Dream Team, led by Big Budah, recently stopped by with a surprise for Milonie and Robyn.  It was an effort to thank the women for their selfless work on behalf of students and to provide food, clothing and personal hygiene items to help fill their pantries.

Both women also received $1,000, which is meant to be spent on something for themselves. It was an emotional and well-deserved recognition for two amazing women who are constantly taking care of others.

Thank you, Milonie and Robyn, for all you do supporting students and families in Jordan School District.
