Aerospace/Hydrospace Engineering & Physical Science

Message from Mr. Lipp:

Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

Welcome back to school. I am very excited to start this school year in person. While we all have been dealing with the pandemic, our staff have been well trained and have procedures in place to keep us all safe. Teachers record grades in PowerSchool and provide detailed instructions on assignments and well as supply reference material using MS Teams and MS One Note. Please contact my secretary Ms. Lisa Salgado at (203) 275-3374 if you need access to PowerSchool.

Vision:

The Aerospace/Hydrospace and Physical Science High School, an institution that fosters an inclusive campus culture that embraces diversity, civility and multiculturalism, will prepare its graduates to solve problems and apply new technologies within an interconnected and evolving global environment.

Core Beliefs:

• Our environment values and models character, academics and relationships
• Work to consistently safeguard the safety, dignity and well-being of all its members.
• A static curriculum is a dying curriculum.   Revision and development with field experts ensures that the education we provide is current and thematic based.
• In providing our teachers with high quality, discrete magnet professional development. 
• Diverse backgrounds and ideas are crucial to academic excellence
• All children have the potential to achieve if provided with individualized instruction.        
• College and career are by-products of our school and children must have experiences with both.

Mission:

The mission of the Aerospace/Hydrospace and Physical Science High School is to build an academic community whose members have diverse cultures, backgrounds and life experiences and educate those students in ways that lead to fulfilling careers and to create a culture for passionate investigators to develop solutions for the global community. We work to educate the nation's future leaders in engineering and prepare them for professional that have yet to exist.   Further, we seek to expand the frontiers of engineering and to encourage technological innovation while fostering academic excellence and scholarly learning in a project based learning environment.
