Our History
August Martin High School is a magnet high school for Aviation, named
after the first African American pilot to fly for a commercial airline.
August Martin High School opened in September 1971, as one of the
original educational options schools, to provide a very demanding and
challenging program. The school was created through the cooperative
efforts of the Board of Education, community leaders, the aviation
industry, and union representatives. We have now turned into a "small
learning community" school. Students apply to one of five academies:
Aerospace & Technology, Communication Arts, Medical Technologies,
Culinary Arts, and Business & Law.
