THE DEEPER DIVE
To everyone who was able to attend our 2025 Sunset on the Harbor fundraiser, a million thanks. This annual event not only raises critical funds but also allows our Davis Aerospace & Maritime students to showcase their work and successes to an appreciative audience. The kids return to their teachers and classmates with glowing reports and newfound self-esteem. Thank you for that kind of encouragement. It is crucial!
The 2025-2026 school year started on August 18th with our largest incoming freshman class, nearly 120 students. Enrollment at Davis A&M has now reached 300 students. While this success is exciting, it is also challenging. Argonaut must continue supporting existing and new programs, expand internship opportunities, grow and broaden our after-school offerings, and ensure every student is properly prepared, trained, and licensed for their chosen pathways in the aerospace and maritime fields.
Thanks to your support, we have become one of the top-performing high schools in the district! This year, however, brings significant challenges—and we need your help in two important ways.
First, I’m asking you to introduce Argonaut and our Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School to two friends or colleagues. We can arrange tours, visits, and get-togethers with students and staff, offering everyone a much-needed boost. Our favorite and most frequent comment from visitors is, "I wish I had this opportunity when I was a kid!"
Second, I encourage you to consider increasing your contribution. To continue investing in our dedicated teachers, staff, and students, we need additional support. Your contribution strengthens our efforts and is crucial in shaping our future leaders, empowering them to set sail or take flight.
I am immensely grateful for your partnership. With your support, the sky is never the limit!

Avis Aqua - Programming Updates -Issue III
PROGRAMMING UPDATES
After-school programming has started for the year. On September 15th, we kicked off with the Maritime and Aviation Clubs. The Fab Lab Club and Drone Club will begin in the second quarter. Through these opportunities, students grow personally and professionally—whether through teamwork, leadership, or connecting classroom learning to their future careers. By working together on complex projects, students strengthen relationships with peers and mentors while gaining real-world skills
This year, Argonaut set ambitious goals for afterschool programming, and the results have been impressive. Enrollment surpassed the target of 52 students with 78 participants, and nearly all students met the attendance benchmark, with 50 attending 30 or more days. Literacy outcomes were especially strong, with 50% of students showing measurable growth—double the goal.
A special shout-out goes to Malyah Hill, a Davis sophomore and aspiring UAS pilot, who led the way with 87 days of attendance and continues to thrive in the Aviation and Drone Club.
Team 8222: New Captains, New Season, New Challenges
Team 8222 is gearing up for the 2026 season by training and preparing new members of the team. With 8 members graduated and moving onto their next steps, we had some big shoes to fill.
Meet our new captains: Eamon and Brady. Eamon has a passion for learning new skills and hopes to one day serve in the U.S. Coast Guard. Brady has a passionfor aviation and wants to be a commercial pilot. He is currently on track, training to become a pilot. Both captains have been on the team for a year and have been trained under their predecessors, Yariselle (now studying Mechatronics Engineering at Kent State) and Jovanni (now studying Mechanical Engineering at Ohio State)
Team 8222 has two off-season competitions this fall. The first competition is at Kettering University, Flint, Michigan on September 20th and the second competition is at the Valley Voltage Vibe competition at Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio.
The 2026 FIRST FRC REBUILT competition season kickoff will be on January 10th at 2:00pm. This is when all teams around the globe will learn what the new game and challenge is for the season. This will require an entirely new robot, giving us just six weeks to design, build, and program a brand-new robot. We are excited and ready for the new season and can’t wait to share our new robot with you in the spring.
Maritime Program Updates:
Aqua Immersion and Sailing Expansion
The school year is off to a strong start for our mariners. Our incoming freshmen have completed their first two weeks of Aqua Immersion. During their first weeks at Davis, our students dove in and learned to become comfortable with the water at CSU and also experienced the water at Rivergate Park.
Thank you so much to our partners at The Foundry, Cleveland Rowing Foundation, and Cleveland Dragon Boats for their time and expertise.
Argonaut has welcomed a new vessel, Paradox, to our fleet. During the summer, teachers had a chance to view the boat and gave it a stellar review. Compared toprevious vessels, Paradox has sails and will be used to teach basic boat handling and sailing skills to our students and their families alike. From understanding sail trimming to learning basic navigation, students will use their classroom knowledge to participate in real-world, hands-on practice situations.
We’re excited to add Paradox as another layer of our maritime education and programming. Be on the lookout for what’s next as we move full steam ahead, including an occasional entrance into sail racing!
Fab Lab Fall Updates: Creativity in Action
The Fab Lab continues to be a hub for innovation, collaboration, and hands-on learning. Thanks to our amazing summer interns—Calvin Jackson, Elise Galloway, Mikeah Velazquez, Arthur Higher, and Kaysha Jones—for making this past summer such a success. Their energy and dedication brought new ideas and projects to life, showing just how powerful creativity and teamwork can be. From hands-on learning to creative problem-solving, their contributions set the tone for an exciting year ahead as we transition into the new school year.
Looking forward, Fab Club will officially kick off its second quarter this October. Students will once again dive into digital fabrication, design, and innovation. The focus this quarter will be on craftsmanship, aesthetics, and building skills and techniques.
Ingenuity Fest, held in Cleveland from September 26–28, is a celebration of art, technology, and creativity that brings together inventors, makers, and performers from across the region. Argonaut played a big role in showcasing our students’ talents by teaching visitors how to operate drones and airplanes by using our simulators. Visitors had the chance to build boats, create rockets and shoot them off by way of an air compressor and drive our award winning robot. A huge thank you goes out to Emily Applebaum and the entire Ingenuity Team for making this event such a success.
Interns and Alumni Lead Hands-On Projects in Argonaut Aviation
Our Aviation Club has been busy keeping our plane ready to hit the skies. Current Davis student Noah Reed interned at the Argonaut Aviation Department with alum Ortez Littlejohn. Together, they replaced a failing Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) in Argonaut’s Piper Cherokee. The new ELT not only sends out a radio signal but also the GPS position of the aircraft in case of an emergency.
Students also fabricated a remotely controlled aircraft tug that will be used to move Argonaut aircraft. The design of the R/C tug eliminates damage caused to the aircraft's steering system by larger tugs with towbars.
In addition to his work with Noah, Ortez was instrumental in helping diagnose and replace a worn-out cylinder on the Cherokee engine.
Through their participation in the Aviation Club, students had the opportunity to learn about and use several tools specific to the aviation industry and the machine shop/tool-making industry.
The Davis Drone Soccer Team is in the works!
We are excited to announce our plans for a Drone Soccer program this fall semester. Created in South Korea, Drone Soccer has gained popularity worldwide. Argonaut is bringing this fun activity to our Davis students with the purchase of a starter kit. Students are already building, programming, and strategizing together as they dive into this exciting new sport!

Student Voices: Summertime internship stories
This year, our students have had the opportunity to dive into hands-on internships across maritime, aviation, and fabrication industries.
From navigating one of Cleveland’s largest vessels on the Goodtime III to gaining real-world aviation experience with United Airlines, and learning fabrication skills in the Argonaut Fab Lab, our interns have explored a variety of career paths. These experiences have not only strengthened their technical skills but also given them a firsthand look at what it takes to succeed in their chosen fields. Here’s what some of our students had to say about their internship journeys.
Kameron Noel, Goodtime III: “My experience on the Goodtime III has been a real eye-opener. Compared to other boats that I've been on, this one is by far the largest vessel. I've learned about the boat's mechanics and how it operates. I've sat in the pilot house to see what the captain sees, and I've even driven the boat using some of the navigation equipment. I’ve used the wheel to maneuver the boat, which is fun but challenging. I’ve been able to call out to bridges to allow the vessel through, which is pretty exciting. Overall, being allowed to work on the boat has been the best. I hope to take my Maritime career to the next level through the Goodtime III and Argonaut!”
Phoenix Guerrero, 2543: "Working on 2543 has truly shaped my decision to pursue a maritime career. It’s been such an amazing experience working with medical and maritime. I am very fortunate to be a part of the Argonaut program.”
Brady Lukcso, United Airlines: "My time at United Airlines was a fantastic! Through the internship, I have acquired a range of skills essential for a career in aviation. Meeting people in the aviation field helped prepare me for my future as a pilot. I am very thankful for the opportunity at United Airlines and am looking forward to my future in aviation."
Kyra McIntosh, United Airlines: “It was fun! I enjoyed learning about how workers organize items at United. I also learned a lot about how they keep [parts] together and organized. Overall, it was an enjoyable and godly experience!”
Elise Galloway, Fab Lab: “Working in the Fab Lab was a great experience. I got to work on different projects and learned the process of putting something together from start to finish. Creating new things was really exciting. My overall experience was eye-opening and fun.”
Noah Reed, Argonaut Aviation: “Working with Ioannis this summer was more challenging than I expected. There were challenges, and I did struggle, but through my experience, I learned areas I need to improve on as I work toward my career path. Overall, I enjoyed the work”
Luis Correa, RTA: “I developed hands-on experience working with mechanics at RTA. I gained valuable experience from other employees about my future. I learned how to work as a team with the other interns.”
MAGNET ECEC UPDATES
It’s that time of year again – the Early College Early Career Program is back! Tristan Johnson, Meairra Jackson, Edwin Romero, God Brooks, Camille Brooks, Genesis Cruz, and Noa Bazile will begin the second year of their Magnet Program. After gaining experience with Talan Products, Olympus Aerospace, and Euclid Heating over the summer, our students will now work with these companies on Fridays and Magnet on Wednesdays. The ECEC program helps students develop professional skills that prepare them for entering the workforce upon graduation. We are looking forward to recruiting for the second round of Juniors in the upcoming months!

THE DEEPER DIVE
Building upon the incredible excitement and energy of Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School's 5th Graduation Ceremony, Argonaut has already begun 2025-2026 programming and planning with renewed excitement. We look forward to sharing the latest improvements in our next newsletter!!!
On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, the Cleveland School Board voted unanimously to move twenty-one schools to the district's traditional calendar and eliminate the 30 extra minutes of daily classroom time that twenty-four schools receive (Ideastream article April 29, 2025). The social activism response launched by students and their families was awesome. Their appeal to the Board, demonstration in front of the BoE building, and dialogues with the media, including National Public Radio, were informed, well-orchestrated, respectful, and modeled their First Amendment Rights. Our seniors were committed to guaranteeing undergraduates and future students have the same experiences and opportunities they have been blessed with.
Despite strong opposition, Davis will see both changes beginning the next school year. While this outcome has been met with frustration and disappointment, I am overwhelmed by an incredible sense of pride as I've witnessed the passionate commitment of our Davis students, teachers, staff, and families. The experience has been educational and empowering for everyone.
The cuts to year-round and extended-day schools were not in response to Davis A&M's performance but focused on the collective metrics of all CMSD schools. Davis A&M has outperformed nearly all CMSD high schools, and our Career Technical Education and Work-Based learning model is a state exemplar. We have upheld our mission and continue year after year to raise our standards and set higher goals. Our students are inspired and aspirational, and their accomplishments defy their realities.
Programming and engagement are not defined by what resources are readily available. We identify the need by engaging students, families, staff, community partners, and industries. We design solutions utilizing the collective knowledge and expertise of this Argonaut and Davis network. We secure key resources from our community, state, federal, and industry partners for the specific support and funding required for the defined success.
When Argonaut was founded in 2010 (PHASTAR), it was with full knowledge that the long-term success of our Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School required committed lifelong partners, staunch allies, and champions. We were purposefully conceived and launched to counter political changes, economic shifts, and strategic adjustments by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District that will continuously test the resilience and challenge the very existence of the Davis A&M community. This is now Argonaut's time to shine. We ask all of you who have engaged in this journey over the past 15 years, from our original task force to our newest volunteers and community partners, to recommit to Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School. We need your support!
Davis WILL continue to be a year-round school providing support beyond the traditional school calendar and four years of high school. Like the Tuskegee Airmen Legacy on which we are founded, we will continue to fight for change through action and perseverance in the face of adversity. We know our mission, and we will prevail. We are Davis A&M.
Thank you for your support and encouragement. I look forward to hearing from you.

NEVER FORGET BY: DAVID ISAIAH TRIPLETT
A powerful, introspective letter to self, ‘Never Forget’ explores the evolving understanding of black identity, the burden and beauty of cultural history, and the importance of embracing one’s heritage without being crushed by its weight.
Dear Younger Me,
I'm sure you don't know the true meaning of what it means to be Black, African American, or of African descent. It's a beautiful thing; not many people understand how spectacular it is to be black, but that's something you'll learn once you grow up. The depth of the skin we share is a physical representation of the struggle our people went through, but that's something you'll have to learn when you get older.
As you grow in age, you'll find that people like to gauge their "blackness" off of how much Black history they know, and that's not truly important. What matters most is what is important to you and what impacts your spirit.
Don't focus on trying to learn everything about Black history, because that's not all for you to know.
The depth of our history, like our skin, is dark and scarred, yet beautiful, complex, and deep. People will make fun of our history, like our skin, unaware of what we've been through, what we've experienced, the winding roots of history that are embellished upon a blank canvas of flesh. The burden of knowledge is too great for a young mind to bear. Instead, focus on losing the hatred you have as a result of ignorance of the past and the way the world works. Don't let the world mold how you see it. That may not make a lot of sense now, but it will once you're older.
A lot of people are gonna want to see you dead, a vast amount being people who look like us. I don't know if they're victims of their surroundings, or willful ignorance, but not every black man is your friend, the same as every white man isn't your enemy. Choose your friends wisely; your friends can make or break your future. I know you made the right ones because you got this letter in the first place.
Good luck navigating the world. Your knowledge is not up to others to judge, and neither are your choices in friends. Always remember.
Dear Older Me,
I hope you take my advice. This letter is a little more difficult to write, as I don't know what you'll turn out like in, say, 7 years. I can only assume you know more about Black history than me. Although it isn't necessary to know everything, it's still important to know your history. Yes, if one person doesn't know the history, it doesn't all fade away. And it's not important because if we ignore history, it's bound to repeat. It's important we represent the unsung heroes who weren't praised for fighting and lost their lives to ensure that our rights were safe. While we celebrate Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, George Washington Carver, Ruby Bridges, Garrett Morgan, and Martin Luther King Jr., everyday individuals deserve representation. The point of doing a noble act isn't so that you can be praised after you die, but rather so the work you've done is remembered. The people who've been killed and the ones who've been tortured to be made as a warning to keep us in our place are the ones who need to be remembered among the big names.
Those who disregard their interests to stand up against those who want to keep us down deserve to be remembered. Events like the bus boycott need to be remembered, but the average person doesn't know about the sit-ins. Moments where the violence spoke louder than our peace, and yet we still pushed on. The freedom riders are those remembered for being harassed simply riding the bus to the South to fight the lack of enforcement of anti-segregation laws.
I can only assume you know more than I do. Don't forget: the world doesn't depend on your knowledge of Black history. It doesn't gauge your amount of "blackness" to not know the smaller stories. Don't have the mindset that if you don't know it, it's lost knowledge. The world is not your judge, so don't let them bully you into trying to hold the entirety of our history in your head. Although important, some people carry those legacies and carry them well. 400+ years is a lot of history to understand. Always remember what you know doesn't make you who you are, but what you choose to do with knowledge because that speaks volumes to your character.
Always remember.

Avis Aqua – Programming Updates – Issue I I
PROGRAMMING UPDATES
As the year comes to an end, we have a lot to celebrate! This year was focused on growth, achieving new heights, motivating Davis students to try new things, and to reach as many students as we can.
- For SY 24/25, we had a goal to enroll 52 Davis students into our afterschool program. We far exceeded the goal by enrolling 82 students.
- For SY 24/25, we had a goal that at least 25% of students enrolled in our programming would display improvement in their literacy performance as measured by NWEA/MAP, OST, and grade card data. As of April, we have reached the goal with 30% of enrolled students demonstrating improvement. We do expect this number to increase as final grades start to roll in from the end of the school year.
- We had a goal of enrolling three students into the Private Pilot Training program and completing the program with a Private Pilot License. We have reached that goal as Three seniors, now graduates, successfully obtained their FAA Part-61 Private Pilot License.
- This year, we had three seniors enroll in the FAA Part-107 Drone License and successfully complete the training.
As we head into the summer, Davis students are putting their skills in action. From building and launching boats, to performing oil changes on aircrafts, Davis students are putting their hands-on learning to the test. Want to see what else they're up to? Keep reading to find out what’s next!
Maritime students have set sail toward new adventures
One of our students stepped foot onto the KAY E. BARKER 7 for a 2-month-long sea internship. This unique opportunity, in partnership with Interlake Steamship Company, provides valuable work experience.
- With the help of Ms Binsack, freshmen studying maritime science are designing and building cardboard boats. The students released their boats into Lake Erie, where they studied and observed how hull design and construction impact a vessel's operation. The experience allowed students to reconnect with the water and try their hand at boatbuilding while having fun.
- Davis A&M is summer-ready. Our students reconnected with water just in time for summer during Davis beachdays. Students practiced and refined the skills they learned during their first year while kayaking and paddleboarding.
Summer Work on PHASTAR 2543 and Flotsom and Jetsom is underway. Keep your eyes open for our incredible students making waves and be sure to wave if you see one of our boats on the water!
Maritime students have had a productive and successful school year. Our students accomplished a lot as they steered towards new horizons and embarked on exciting adventures. Some of our exciting updates include:
Davis students fly high in 2025; three newly certified FAA pilots and more.
The Davis Drone Club is buzzing with accomplishments. We are excited to share an overview of drone activitiesstudents have been working on this year:
- Three students became sUAS Part 107 holders this year. Canon Drake, Luis Correa and Kameron Noel.
- Students wrapped up their work, completing the Raccoon Creek Wetland Restoration Project in Sandusky
- Students are looking forward to the start of Drone Soccer in the Fall
Fab lab (club/school) Updates
The Fab Lab was a busy place during the final quarter of the year. Students flooded the lab during and after school leading projects around the city of Cleveland, created business using different machines in the lab and are now hosting interns!
Fab lab (club/school) Updates
The Fab lab was on the move as we attended two amazing events in Cleveland, The first event was Score with STEM presented by NEOSTEM and the Cleveland Cavaliers. We were able to showcase our many avenues of STEM curriculum headlined by our Fab Lab. Students participated in ice bath challenges and used aviation simulators to explore STEM fields. The second event was STEM day at Progressive Field with NEOSTEM and the Cleveland Guardians. At the event students of all ages were challenged to make a tower using popsicle sticks to get the ingenuity flowing! We would like to thank NEOSTEM, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cleveland Guardians for hosting us at these two amazing events.
Davis students fly high in 2025; three newly certified FAA pilots and more.
Davis aviation students reached new heights this year, and we couldn't be prouder. Some of their finest momentsinclude:
- Davis A&M alumni Gabe Lenoard flew with current student pilots before their check ride
- Genesis Cruz expressed interest in becoming an aviation technician and performed an oil change on the Argonaut Piper Cherokee.
- On May 15, 2025 Montie Henderson, Evan Mullin-Vaneste and Randy Negron earned their FAA Private Pilot's License. The first Davis cohort to graduate with their Pilots licenses.
- Noah Reed will be an Argonaut intern this summer working with Ioannis in maintaining the Argonaut Cherokee and learning about aviation maintenance.
Davis A&M Robotics team
The 2025 FIRST FRC Season was a great success for Team 8222, The Argonauts! As you may recall from the last edition of this article, the theme for this year's challenge was called ReefScape. The game challenged teams all over the globe to build a machine that was able to deploy coral (PVC pipe) onto an almost 6’ tall reef, remove oversized algae dodge ballsand score them into processors, and also climb a cage that was stationed 3 inches from the ground.
Our robot was able to complete most of the game's challenges. It had speed, reached almost 7’ tall, fully extended, and moved with ease around the field. The robot had a stunning design with this year's team theme including lightning bolts, which inspired the name of our 112 lbs robot to be, Bolt. The team put in well over 200 hours into building the robot. Each member learned how to use lathe machines, industrial milling machines, a CAMaster CNC Router, and variousother hand and power tools.
All the hard work earned us a spot on the Number 1 alliance at the Buckeye Regional where we placed in second. This is a huge victory for our team and only sets the bar higher for next season. Our second place win was recognized by many including the City of Cleveland Council.
