Adding 'backbone'
Hoover Academy adopts AOPA curriculum, accepts major donation
THE BOB HOOVER ACADEMY, a Salinas,
California-based nonprofit organization
dedicated to " empowering at-risk kids
through aviation education, " has received
a curriculum-changing donation from the
Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation, and
recently began using the AOPA Foundation's
High School Aviation STEM Curriculum as
the " backbone " of its in-classroom learning.
" Supporting the Bob Hoover Academy's
mission aligns perfectly with AOPA's dedication
to fostering the next generation
of aviators and technicians, " said AOPA
President Mark Baker. " The combination of
hands-on aircraft construction, comprehensive
aviation education, and the remarkable
support from industry partners creates an
unparalleled opportunity for these students.
This initiative not only transforms lives but
also strengthens the future of the aviation
industry. We are proud to be a part of such
a meaningful program. "
Tom Siebel, Craig McCaw, and David
Leuschen are providing funds for operational
support and one CubCrafters kit
airplane per year over the next three years
to be built by students at BHA. The Carbon
Cub EX-2 aircraft kits will be integrated into
the academy's curriculum, and proceeds
from the sale of the completed EX-2s will
be reinvested in the academy.
Industry partners have also pledged
contributions. Cirrus Aircraft committed
to providing post-high school " engagement
opportunities " with " potential access to realworld
experience in the aviation industry
and a direct pathway to a career immediately
after graduation. " CubCrafters is offering
discounted aircraft kits and guaranteed job
interviews for program graduates, and Game
Composites will offer two-week internships
with guaranteed job interviews.
Sean D. Tucker, longtime airshow performer
and founder of the Bob Hoover
Academy, said the combination of hands-on
experience building Carbon Cubs, AOPA's
curriculum, and the additional support from
industry " will equip Academy students with
the skills and confidence to transform their
lives. " Tucker added that the donations will
ensure sustained growth of the organization.
" This gift is truly a game-changer. "
The AOPA You Can Fly program is
funded by charitable donations to the AOPA
Foundation. To be a part of the solution, visit
