"SPARC was more than 'science'- it was a preface to the opportunities provided by living and being in the USA.”
Dr. Stanley Schwartz, Class of 1965
OUR IMPACT
Because of our donors, the SPARC students were able to accomplish the following:
-
The FAA 107 Exam: With the boosters' financial assistance, we have been able to provide the necessary resources for our students to succeed in earning their drone pilots license. We are proud to share that 7 students have earned their FAA Part 107 paid for by scholarships provided by boosters.
-
Drone Operations: Thanks to your generous donations, we have been able to acquire sophisticated drones that have not only enhanced our students' piloting skills but also increased their marketability in the industry. With hands-on experience and the ability to navigate these cutting-edge technologies, our students are setting themselves apart from their peers, reading themselves for careers in GIS, surveying, search and rescue etc.
-
Flight Simulators: Through your support, we have been able to provide our students with access to flight simulators equipped with realistic controls. This invaluable experience has allowed them to hone their skills and prepare for real-world challenges in aviation.
-
Robotics: Project SPARC has fostered a competitive spirit among our students, driving them to excel in first tech robotics competitions against schools across our city and state. With your support, our students have developed essential STEM skills and learned the value of teamwork and perseverance.

Whether you have one hour to give or you can come in a few days a week after school, have technical or non-technical expertise, Project SPARC has a mentoring role for you.
The NEHS Project SPARC Boosters is looking for interested alumni, parents, educators and community members with various backgrounds, talents and skill levels to support our activities.
