The U.S. Air Force landed at North Garland High School Nov. 6 for an interactive lesson in math, science and technology. Bringing its Rapid Strike simulator, students experienced some of the careers their education at NGHS could lead to.
“I grew up in Garland, and there was not much information about the United States Air Force out there at that time,” said Technical Sergeant Robert Auten, recruiter and North Garland alumnus. “My main priority as a recruiter is to inform the community of the great career options that are available. I am thrilled to be able to bring such a prestigious event to my home town.”
Throughout the day, NGHS students embarked on five-minute missions simulating life downrange. This included an F-22 flight, C-17 cargo drop, CCT ground surveillance, satellite communications and a Reaper missile strike. North Garland was one of only two North Texas locations chosen for this exclusive, national tour. The simulator was also set up at a Cowboys game
