St. Augustine, Florida · Student Aerospace Club
Ideas take flight here
Build it. Fly it. Launch it. The SAHS Aerospace Club gives curious students a place to turn an interest in aviation and engineering into hands-on experience, new skills and a community focused on what comes next.
About
For students who want to understand what makes flight possible.
This is where curiosity becomes capability — through hands-on challenges, real aerospace technology and the chance to learn alongside students who are just as excited about what flies, how it works and where it can lead.
Flight Lab
Learn by doing.
Get closer to the technology behind modern aviation with hands-on experiences that make aerospace concepts tangible, practical and a lot more exciting.

Flight Log
Where aerospace becomes real.
Aerospace is best experienced up close. Step into aviation environments, work around aircraft, launch rockets and turn digital designs into physical parts.
Field Experience · Northeast Florida Regional Airport
From the classroom to the control tower.
Aircraft Experience
Up close with real aircraft.
Aerospace Club · Rocket Launch
Build. Test. Launch.
Digital Fabrication
From CAD to physical parts.
