On Tuesday we had a real-time visit from SUU 🚁 Aviation at the Catalyst this morning! The aviation program at Southern Utah University features programs in helicopter and airplane pilot training, aircraft technician, and aviation management.
This year we are again offering beginning and advanced Pilot & Aviation courses for Part 61 of ground school to help students earn half of their private pilot's license.
High school students in DSD can start college already having earned their private pilots license, working on flight hours with a CFI outside of school as they finish their ground school with us.

We had the privilege of hosting CTSO student leaders from every high school today! CTSO stands for Career & Technical Student Organizations. We had a 4-person panel share ideas and answer questions about encouraging involvement and awareness, many of whom were former CTSO student leaders themselves. Then student leaders had time to collaborate with their school counterparts across the district. Thanks to our CTE Coordinators for planning this event- and here's to a GREAT year! 🎉

Hello Catalyst Parents and Students,
As we head into our final week of school, we want to thank you for your continued support, celebrate the incredible work of our students, and recognize the dedication of our faculty. It has been an outstanding year at the Catalyst, and we are incredibly proud of all our students!
Next week is our final week of school. Because each home high school is following a slightly different schedule, we will be adjusting ours accordingly. Catalyst will not hold regular scheduled classes during the final week. However, on Monday and Tuesday, teachers will be available for student consultations as needed.
From Wednesday through Friday, we are encouraging our teachers to support graduating seniors at their home school graduation ceremonies. As a result, teachers may not be in the building on those days. Please reach out to individual teachers directly if you need to connect with them. Grades will be finalized by 3:00pm on Friday, May 22.
Please note that bussing will not be available next week due to these schedule changes. Students who need to meet with a teacher on Monday or Tuesday will be responsible for their own transportation.
Thank you again for your support! Congratulations to all of our graduating seniors—we wish you the very best. Have a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,
Tim Allen
Director
Davis Catalyst Center
