Farmington’s ‘Flying Tigers’ land at state Board of Education meeting

Students Gabriel Kozlowski and Lorelai Rutherford speak to members of the state Board of Education.

You know you’re doing something special when members of the state Board of Education invite you to make a presentation.

That’s what happened this month when a delegation from the Farmington School District traveled to Concord on Thursday, Nov. 13 to speak about the high school’s ‘Flying Tigers’ plane-building program, which started this past September.

The ‘Flying Tigers’ plane-building program is a partnership between the school district, the non-profit Aviation Museum of N.H., and Tango Flight, a non-profit that facilitates student plane-building programs across the nation. (Last year, participants in the ‘Take Flight’ plane-building program at Lebanon High School also visited the board.)

Speaking to board members were Dr. Kimberly McGlinchy, Farmington’s curriculum director, and Paul Smith, the faculty member guiding the plane-build program.

Board members then heard from Gabriel Kozlowski and Lorelai Rutherford, both students in the ‘Flying Tigers’ plane-building program.
