PROGRAMMING UPDATES
Growth and consistency. Two words that are at the forefront of my reflections of the school year as we prepare to close out in May. This year has been filled with meaningful learning, connections, curiosity, enthusiasm, creative exploration and social development. Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School students were met with consistent programming in aviation, maritime, and engineering which helped many students build confidence in their schoolwork, participate in a wide range of enrichment activities and encouraged creativity, collaboration and problem solving skills. One of the highlights of the year was seeing students form stronger friendships and develop a sense of community in a year of overcoming challenges.
Today, we celebrate many milestones like the development of the United States Drone Soccer team at Davis A&M which secured their spot in the championships being hosted at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University after a second place win in Dayton, Ohio in March. The team of six students, led by Argonauts Partner Relations Manager, Devon Sheehy, has worked hard and practiced for many hours preparing for the competition. Their drive and determination shows that when Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School students are presented with an opportunity, they take it and run with it and make it their own.
Another milestone to celebrate is the growth of the Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School skate club led by Mr. Shaheen, Davis A&M History Teacher. Started just a short two years ago, the skate club started off as a program for students to learn how to skateboard outside of the school but has since grown into a community supported by local small businesses and organizations that run summer programming teaching kids and adults how to skateboard and even build them.
As I type my letter to you, we have three graduating seniors down at Burke Lakefront Airport working with Argonauts Certified Flight Instructor, Ioannis Giagtzoglou, making repairs to our 1976 Piper Cherokee PA28-140 and performing a complete overhaul of the aircraft interior. This is just the beginning of the Airframe and Powerplant program Argonaut is developing for Davis A&M. Soon, Davis students will be able to perform maintenance on the additional aircraft that Argonaut is preparing to purchase.
In addition, 50 students have obtained an OBEC license, 65 (and counting) students are enrolled in a summer internship this season, 73 students have been served in Argonauts afterschool programming, 2 students have been enrolled in our pilot training program, 1 teacher has been enrolled in our pilot training program, and so much more.
In the coming school year, we look forward to continuing this work when the Cleveland High School of Digital Arts merges with Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School. With the merger, our mission remains, to serve all Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School students and continue to build opportunities that provide a foundation of success for their journey after high school. Argonaut will continue to grow our operations and team to meet the needs of the Davis A&M students and community. We've begun by growing our fleet to support the yearlong programming Argonaut provides. Argonaut is meeting with our partners and building comprehensive workforce development opportunities for all grade levels. We continue to grow our presence in the air at Burke Lakefront Airport and in the lake and rivers of Cleveland.
To cap the year, we will celebrate the 6th graduating class of Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School on May 23rd at the Jacobs Pavilion. This will mark the new generation of manufacturers, engineers, pilots, mariners and more. Please help us in congratulating the Class of 2026.
With continued adventures and exploration,

Innovation in Action: Inside the Robotics Program
Governor Dewine and First Lady Dewine Visit MAGNET
Governor Dewine and Ohio's First Lady, Mrs. Dewine, visited MAGNET (The Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network) earlier this year to hear about the important work taking place in Greater Cleveland that supports local manufacturers.
The Robotics team from Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School and East Technical High School had the opportunity to talk about the Cleveland FIRST Robotics initiative and how building robots has impacted the students' lives.
FIRST Robotics Competition:
Team 8222 competed at The Buckeye Regional, hosted at the Cleveland State University Wolstein Center this past March. Rebuilt, the name and theme of this year's game, challenged all teams to build a 115lbs industrial sized robot to be able to project multiple 5.9" diameter balls called fuel and hand from a tower of up to 5' tall. The Argonauts accepted the challenge and answered the call with their robot named Dale. The machine is a short robot with a maximum height of 30" and can hold up to 52 fuel in its extendable hopper. With its black, silver and blue color scheme, it is a mighty machine that can take a hit and score fuel.
The team did not place where they wanted but they won in other aspects. The team of 16 were able to problem solve using critical thinking skills and keep the machine up and running on the field. Their team spirit shined through and their Davis pride was contagious with the entire student section cheering their home team on.
The team has another competition coming up from April 15th - April 18th at the New York Tech Valley Regional in Albany, New York.
Hands Across Borders
In 2021, two Davis students got together and developed a community service project that would provide 3-D printed prosthetic arms and hands to kids in Cleveland. After a few prototypes and displaying their design at a local STEM festival in 2022, the project gained traction with the Great Lakes Science Center and MEDAccess and turned into a global community service project providing over 60 prosthetic arms and hands. Last summer, Davis students traveled to Latacunga, Ecuador for an 11 day medical mission with the Great Lakes Science Center and MEDAccess International and it was a huge success.
This summer, 5 Davis students were invited back to another medical mission in Ibarra, Ecuador for 11 days and will be delivering more prosthetics arms and hands to kids and adults in need. This trip would not be possible without the partnership of the Great Lakes Science Center and MEDAccess International and we are happy to continue our work with their support.
Davis Students Dive Into Skills, Careers, and Summer Opportunities
Davis Students Dive into Newly Launched Swim Club
At Davis, we believe every student should be equipped with the skills to be comfortable with and in the water. This year, with this goal in mind, we’ve launched the Davis Swim Club. Club members meet up to four days a week to practice and perfect their swimming skills.
Hosted at the Cleveland State University Aquatic Center, students practice distance swimming and the ability to dive and retrieve objects. Students participate in this club for a multitude of reasons, with some working to stay physically fit and others hoping to become a lifeguard.
Regardless of their reasons for joining, Argonaut is dedicated to providing this program to our students in the years to come.
Engaging with Experts at the Cleveland Boat Show
Despite the cold and snowy weather, our students still suited up and took part in the Cleveland Boat Show. Thanks to the fine people at the Ohio Marine Trades Association, our students engaged industry maritime experts in multiple fields across Northeast Ohio and participated in one-on-one conversations with marinas and shipbuilders to learn about career opportunities.

Avis Aqua - The Deeper Dive - Issue V
THE DEEPER DIVE
As I gather my thoughts for this edition of the Deeper Dive, I can still hear the rain and thunder outside my window. The storm that blew through began with ominous clouds, tornado sirens, and then the squall line. The rain, lightning, thunder, and wind were intense at times. Trees are down, and power is still out throughout the area. There was a brief pause after this first wave, then came a second, less intense wave of storms. The thunder and lightning were equally intense, but much less wind.
Now I sit and listen to the steady rain showers and thunder. The rain and scattered storms stretch from here to Chicago. These various storms will clear by morning, and the sun will rise over the freshly washed earth. The birds will resume their singing, and we will welcome warming temperatures and the signs of Spring.
At this moment, I appreciate the struggles we have faced at Davis A&M over the past 12 months. What began as signs of trouble gradually shifted to warning signals of an impending storm. With the December announcement of school consolidations and changes to our Davis A&M community, the squall line arrived. There have been and continue to be intense storm cells passing through. However, with the main threat past and preparations for the remaining scattered storms underway, we know we will weather this storm.
I look toward the horizon, knowing the sun will soon begin to rise. We will once again feel the warmth and recognize the beauty that surrounds us. The birds will take flight singing their songs, and the seas will calm. From this place, we will resume our journey, knowing that we have survived, grown stronger as a Davis A&M community, and can weather any storm that lies ahead.

The event featured an art show and auction with one-of-a-kind pieces created by local skaters and artists. Guests had the chance to bid on original works, including custom skateboard decks, while also supporting the club through the purchase of T-shirts and hats.
More than just a fundraiser, the night highlighted the creativity and connection within the local skate scene. It was an awesome evening that showcased both the talent and strong community behind the Davis Skate Club.
ARGONaUT takes on ST. PATRICK’S DAY
Braving cold, snow, and windy weather, Argonaut and a team of Davis A&M students came together to participate in the annual St. Patrick's Day parade. The students decorated Argonaut's new PHASTAR airboat with Argonaut's flags and other St. Patrick's Day decorations. Despite the weather, it was a great day for the students, spectators, and all involved with the parade.
ARGONAUT EXPANDS FLEET WITH AIRBOAT AND AIRCRAFT FLEET ACQUISITIONS
Argonaut is growing its fleet with two exciting new additions that will expand student learning and real-world training opportunities.
The program recently acquired a nearly new 24-foot PHASTAR Airboat, built by 1000 Island Airboats and purchased from the Alaska State Troopers. Designed to operate on water, ice, and flooded terrain, the airboat opens the door for year-round, on-water programming and enhances PHASTAR 2543’s rescue capabilities.
Staff completed specialized training during a 1,200-mile trip to retrieve the vessel, and Argonaut is currently developing partnerships with local agencies to support emergency response efforts. The airboat has already made its public debut in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade with students onboard.
In addition, Argonaut has acquired a 1975 Piper PA-28-151 Warrior that has not been flown since 1990. Students pursuing careers as aircraft technicians will restore the plane to airworthy condition alongside a licensed technician and inspector. After initial flight hours, the aircraft will be upgraded with modern avionics before joining the fleet as a training aircraft for future pilots. It will also be maintained by student technicians as part of their hands-on learning.
Updates will be shared as both projects continue to develop in the coming months.

THE DEEPER DIVE
As we wrap up the first half of our 2025-2026 school year at Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School, there is much to celebrate as presented in this issue of Avis Aqua. Our students remain engaged in all the aerospace and maritime programming available to them. The aqua immersion programming that started the school year saw 100% participation. After school clubs and programming have nearly 40% of Davis A&M students attending. While we celebrate our successes, we must prepare for a storm on the horizon.
On Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, the Cleveland School Board voted on significant district wide changes that will impact Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School. The Building Brighter Futures initiative has been developed by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District in response to forecasted financial shortfalls district wide.
The plan combines Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School and the High School for Digital Arts into a single rebranded school, Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. High School. These changes will take effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
Once again, we find ourselves reminding our partners at the CMSD that Davis A&M programming and engagement are not defined by what resources are readily available. Our plans and strategies are developed by directly engaging students, families, staff, community partners and industry. We design solutions utilizing the collective knowledge and expertise of this Argonaut and Davis A&M network. We secure key resources from our community, state, federal and industry partners for the specific support and funding required for the defined success. We were not and still have yet to be engaged in any planning around the District’s current challenges or proposed solutions. Moreover, we are once again being asked to react to changes being imposed upon us by our partner
Argonaut was founded in 2010 (PHASTAR) to guarantee the long-term success of our Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School. This commitment requires that we fulfill our obligation to Davis A&M Students, Alumni, Families and Staff as lifelong partners, staunch allies and champions. We continue to assess the full impact of the Building Brighter Futures Plan developed by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and how it impacts our obligations.
In our ninth year of the Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School, we must acknowledge how far we have come. Our Principal, Tim Jones, has recruited and developed an incredible staff and has brought much of our vision to life. Our Argonaut and CMSD staff at Davis A&M work as one. Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School is successful because of strong leadership, committed and enthusiastic staff, and the power of Argonaut. We are in a very strong position as we consider the future. Furthermore, Davis A&M staff, Argonaut and our Board are working round the clock, exploring all options, thinking outside the box, and reaching out to all areas of expertise within our industries.
I will end this Deeper Dive as I have previously, reminding everyone that Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School WILL prevail. We will continue to be a tuition free, year-round, public high school providing support to our Cleveland students and families beyond the traditional school, beyond the school day, and beyond the 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.
I welcome any questions, thoughts or concerns that you have. While no specific decisions or plans have been finalized by Argonaut, our commitment to Davis A&M is unwavering. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. We will keep in touch.

PROGRAMMING UPDATES
As 2025 comes to a close, I wanted to reflect on this year's success, in the hope it will give you a beacon of holiday cheer. Our mission statement clearly states, "We build adventurers through immersive learning experiences to empower their growth and talent in the aerospace and maritime fields," and we hit our mark.
This year, we were able to provide three Davis students with a Private Pilot's License, sent two students to live on a freighter for two months with Interlake Steamship, and provided 40 summer internships across the city of Cleveland, connecting students with local organizations, including United Airlines, Burke Lakefront Airport, RTA, Port of Cleveland, Goodtime III, and Magnet.
We engaged 75 students in afterschool programming, where students participated in FABLAB, Drone, Aviation, Maritime, FIRST Robotics, and Skate clubs. Each program had a unique set of projects that expanded the learning scope of each explorer. We participated in multiple community events, including the Cleveland Cavs and the Cleveland Guardians STEM events, Ingenuity Fest, and the Sturgeon Release Event with the Cleveland Metroparks. Our goal at each event was to inform the community about the exciting things happening at Davis and recruit future adventurers. We are incredibly proud of our Davis students who represented us well at every event they completely ran.
Davis is an awesome place: It's a school that allows students to freely express themselves and explore their career options in fun and innovative ways. It’s a place where everyone has an opportunity to build a pathway for themselves. A huge part of our success is the courage and support of the Davis teachers and staff. Their dedication to student growth and promoting a positive learning experience is what drives our students to leap into their interests and try new things. Argonaut is lucky to have a strong and wonderful partner in our Davis family.
We’re looking forward to 2026, as we strive to do even more and continue the mission. We hope that 2026 is kind to you and yours. As always, Argonaut and Davis open their doors to anyone willing to extend a hand in volunteering with our students.
Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year,

FALL FAB LAB REPORT: CLUBS, COMPETITIONS & COMMUNITY
This fall has been an incredibly creative season in the Argonaut Fab Lab, with students exploring design, engineering, and fabrication through a wide range of hands-on projects. In Fab Club, students have been busy crafting their own jewelry, designing custom T-shirts, and engineering mini basketball hoops—each project blending art, technology, and problem-solving. Many students also used the laser cutter and 3D printers to create personalized gifts for their families, bringing thoughtful ideas to life through digital fabrication.
Fab Saturdays returned this year with a strong start, welcoming families into the lab for weekend creativity. At our first Fab Saturday of the year, families designed and created their own jewelry pieces with the help of our laser cutters. The second Fab Saturday celebrated Halloween, offering hands-on stations where students and families built wooden jack-o’-lanterns and crafted costume masks using digital design tools.
Our students also took part in the annual Pumpkin Drop, where creativity and engineering collide.
The pumpkin drop is an annual tradition at Davis A&M where students create run ways and drop pumpkins using a parachute in hopes of landing on their runway. This year, my crew earned the award for Best Runway Design with a full-scale Space Invaders arcade machine built entirely from cardboard. The project required exceptional teamwork, long hours both in and out of school, and a shared goal of building the most impressive runway display in the competition.
In October, our 11th and 12th graders attended Manufacturing Day at the Great Lakes Science Center—an annual national event that introduces students to modern manufacturing careers, technologies, and workforce pathways. During the visit, students explored interactive exhibits, met industry professionals, and learned how advanced manufacturing blends engineering, robotics, and innovation to power real-world industries. Our students also participated in hands-on demonstrations, giving them a deeper understanding of how their Fab Lab skills translate into high-demand career fields.
This year, we’re excited to launch PBIS Rewards in the Fab Lab. PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide system that recognizes and reinforces positive behaviors. To kick off the program, the top 30 students earned an exclusive Fab Lab experience where they designed and created their own custom hoodies using our vinyl cutters and heat presses. This week, PBIS students will take on a new project: crafting personalized cutting boards using our ShopBot CNC router, giving them hands-on practice with digital design and precision manufacturing. A special thank you to Mrs. Egan for helping integrate PBIS into the Fab Lab and ensuring that positive behavior leads to real, creative, skill-building experiences for our students.
The Fab Lab continues to grow as a hub for creativity, exploration, and community. With more programs ahead, we’re excited to keep expanding opportunities for students and families to design, build, and discover together.
Davis Maritime: Hands-On Learning Across the Waterfront
Charting New Waters: Davis Maritime Club Navigates Paper Charts
This Fall, members of the Davis Maritime Club took on the challenge of learning to read paper maritime charts.

While some Davis students spent their summer working on our maritime vessels, some members of the maritime club went out on the water for two days of training. During training, club members had the opportunity to practice driving and use radar, sonar, and other tools. Training like this is one of the many ways Davis students can become water-ready if they choose to continue their journey in the maritime field.
Freshman Field Trip
During their first year at Davis, students in the Maritime Science class have the exciting opportunity to learn from local NEO partners that specialize in maritime careers. This year, students visited the Port of Cleveland and took a tour of the facilities. While there, students saw the unloading of steel coils from a container ship. Other students visited the Garret Morgan Water Treatment Plant and saw all that it takes to make Cleveland's drinking water. This spring, other students will get similar experiences at other NEO partners.
ON FINAL APPROACH: CELEBRATING STUDENT MILESTONES IN AVIATION
We’re finalizing another amazing year in Aviation, and we’re excited to share our students’ accomplishments:
We are more than halfway through the Private Pilot Ground School class. Upon completion, each student will have the opportunity to take the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Knowledge Exam and earn their student pilot license.
Ground School students and the 10th-grade Aviation Science class have completed their discovery flights. One of our aspiring students, DeMere, had an even more exciting experience: DeMere’s first time in an aircraft was during his discovery flight, where he got to step into the pilot’s chair and take control of the Argonaut Cherokee!
Congrats to Brady and Sam, who have each been awarded one of the flight training slots. Once Brady and Sam complete ground school, pass the FAA knowledge exam, and complete their first class FAA medical exams, they will have the opportunity to begin flight training after winter break.

At times we as people might question, “How did that convince me to follow along with their plans?” That could be the use of rhetorics, parallelism, charged language, and repetition. Martin Luther King Jr. used those three ideas to convince huge groups of people to rise up against injustice for African Americans everywhere. Dr. King’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail” and the “I Have A Dream” speech both include parallelism, charged language, and repetition, but the speech deploys these three ideas more powerfully.
By analyzing the “I Have A Dream” speech and the “Letter From Birmingham Jail” it’s direct that the “I Have A Dream” speech uses parallelism better. As repeated many times during the speech, “One hundred years later" is an example of parallelism. Dr. King uses parallelism to carry the fact that even after 100 years, African Americans still didn’t have their rights. While the letter used parallelism in the form of, “When you/your…” to indicate the treatment of African Americans at the time. There’s a difference between the two which is that the letter is much weaker with staying on topic; switching between unfair treatment and segregation. By differentiating the speech to the letter, we can come to the understanding that the speech’s parallelism is more valuable than the letter.
Although both the “Letter From Birmingham Jail” and the “I Have A Dream” speech use repetition it’s shown more effectively in the “I Have A Dream” speech. The speech has one of the most popular phrases, “I have a dream..,”. Dr. King changed America due to his want for equal rights for everyone using just those four words. On the other hand, the letter uses, “If you were to watch…” as its form of repetition. Dr. King used that to highlight police cruelty against African Americans. Despite the fact that both the letter and the speech uses repetition, the speech applies it more powerfully.
A quick comparison between the “I Have A Dream” speech and the “Letter From Birmingham Jail” reveals that charged language is better used in the speech than the letter. In the speech, “This momentous decree is a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.” Dr. King backs up his arguments withstrong phrases, which is a perfect use of charged language. Using words like “grossly” and “ugly” would be another use of charged language. While the letter and the speech criticize African American treatment, the speech delivers a more powerful and stronger message with charged language.
In conclusion, both the “I Have A Dream” speech and the “Letter From Birmingham Jail” use parallelism, charged language, and repetition, but the speech uses all three better. The phrase in the speech “One hundred years…” uses the first appeal, parallelism, to explain that African Americans are still not free. The letter uses repetition to only talk about one race, while the speech talks about all. Charged language from the letter is influential, yet the speech calls to step towards action. The “I Have A Dream” speech uses rhetorical applications better, but the “Letter From Birmingham Jail” is still a very powerful letter.
MASON WESTWOOD ELA - 9TH GRADE
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth”, this was Abraham Lincoln’s speech in the “ 1863 Gettysburg Speech”, this makes you question how are these speeches so powerful?, let’s use the famous Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and “ I Have a Dream Speech” as a compare and contrast representation. Listeners and readers don’t usually see the powerful and determined messages when rhetorical devices are specifically used in speeches, and even most of the time, they miss the main target points that the speaker is trying to convey and take action on. Rhetorical devices were used in Martin Luther King, Jr’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and the famous “ I Have a Dream Speech”, but the “ I Have a Dream Speech” uses rhetorical devices more effectively.
The rhetorical device of parallelism was used in Martin Luther King, Jr’s “ Letter from Birmingham Jail” and the “ I Have a Dream Speech”. But using parallelism techniques in the “ I Have a Dream Speech” brings a more powerful, unstoppable build of emotions to create constant rhythms. For instance, “ A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God;, an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law” is used in paragraph 16.
It can be concluded that a just law is one that aligns with more law, and or the law of God, while an unjust law contradicts it, and an unjust law is not a true law. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” doesn’t send a direct message and is not as powerful as the “ I Have a Dream Speech”. An additional piece of evidence in the “ I Have a Dream Speech” is the parallelism of “ I Have a Dream That” used by king in paragraph 17.
In this piece of evidence, he emphasized a more directly valued view in a more understandable way than “ Letter from Birmingham Jail” for America to be a better and more peaceful place without segregation or discrimination, to move ahead in a society where segregation and undeniable laws are no more. To summarize things, parallelism in “ I Have a Dream Speech” uses more strong emotional grammatical phrases to build rhythm, climax, and importance to move forward in a society where justice is for ALL.
Another rhetorical device repetition was used in Martin Luther King, Jr’s “Letter fromBirmingham Jail” and the “I Have a Dream Speech”, but although “ The Letter fromBirmingham Jail” is still emotional and persuasive, on the other hand “ I Have a Dream Speech”carries out repetition after repetition in a constant flow allowing for build up, as well adding more feeling and persuasiveness for all. For instance, in “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” the repeated repetition of “ I have” in paragraph 37. As a result, this shows that even though “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is still powerful and directs in its own way, it does not dominate theuseful repetition used in the other speech. The author states in “ I Have a Dream the repeated repetition “One Hundred Years later” used in paragraph 3. This shows the quote uses a voice of power and determination in order to bring segregation to a stop. Overall, “ I Have a Dream Speech” uses repetition in a more determined, powerful way to build emotional momentum and to unite under one to overcome many.
The final rhetorical device charged language was used in Martin Luther King, Jr’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and the “ I Have a Dream Speech”, but in the “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, King used charged language to put an immediate call to action in many people’s minds as well, putting a vivid image upon them therefore, “Letter from Birmingham Jail” represents a better alternative. For example, “ I Have a Dream Speech”, “The manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination”. This shows the quote evokes images of slavery into people’s minds, despite the Emancipation Proclamation 100 years prior, African Americans were not free, but it does not top the “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. Another example is in “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” “ But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your fathers and mothers at will and drown your brother and sisters at whim,” said in paragraph 14. As a result, King aims to provide detail to show the audience the harsh realities of racial hatred and oppression to the urgency of the Civil Rights movement, proving “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to be the most effective for the rhetorical device of charged language. To summarize, “Letter from Birmingham Jail” provides a detailed explanation of racial hatred and oppression, then pushes for people to come together and rise above the harsh realities of segregation and discrimination.
In conclusion, all of these rhetorical devices were used in Martin Luther King, Jr’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail" and the “ I Have a Dream Speech,” but “ I Have a Dream” uses rhetorical devices more effectively. Parallelism, charged language, and repetition are used beneficially, but the speech uses them more effectively. “One Hundred Years Ago" is an exemplary quote used by King to build more power and put rhythm into his speech, using one of these devices as well to overall persuade the audience using these said devices. Rhetorical devices are employed in many speeches to make communication more persuasive, memorable, and impactful while building rhythms and emotions along the way, while also connecting to the audience for additional buildup.

SKATE CULTURE MEETS THE ARGONAUT CREW
The Davis Skate Club took a field trip to the Argonaut HQ to continue skateboarding, despite the wintery Cleveland months. Davis Skate Club brought over their modular skatepark to test out their skills on some of the student-made ramps. Students got the opportunity to help build, design, and construct the ramps with community partners and these ramps were used throughout the summer to provide lessons at the North Coast Yard and beyond. The Davis Skate Club capped off its first session with a pizza party to celebrate!

Argonaut Launches New Captain Training Course to Address Regional Safety Needs
This year, the U.S. Coast Guard held a Ports and Waterways Safety Assessment (PAWSA) with local waterfront stakeholders to identify major risk factors and develop solutions. One of the most significant concerns that emerged was a shortage of high-quality, safety-minded captains operating in the region. Representing Argonaut, Captain Ferguson and Captain Kit participated in the PAWSA sessions. Although we had already been developing a plan to offer a captain training course, the findings served as a clear call-to-action. We needed to address the shortage and strengthen maritime safety across the community.
After searching nationwide for programs to partner with and following an extensive review process, we selected Practical Navigator Training, led by Capt. Christopher Nolan. Together, we launched a hybrid-format captains class designed to meet all required education and testing standards for OUPV (Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels) through 100 Ton Master licenses. Students can also earn Auxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing endorsements, further expanding their professional credentials.
The course combines online modules taught by Capt. Nolan, with in-person study sessions held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Argonaut, facilitated by Capt. Jordan Kit. While the core curriculum includes roughly 80 hours of instruction, we offer an additional 30+ hours of structured study sessions and one-on-one tutoring. The online modules are self-paced, allowing students flexibility to learn and revisit material on their own time.
Our in-person sessions focus on reviewing course material, developing effective test-taking strategies, and assisting students with the paperwork and requirements necessary for licensure. The program is further strengthened by support from Argonaut staff, including Captain Samantha Landgraf, Captain Joseph Slusarski, and Rusty Deane. On November 11th, we also welcomed LT. Chad Kozan from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources as a guest speaker to discuss the real-world implications of the safety topics covered in class.
We currently have 13 students enrolled in the program—including two Davis A&M graduates, Patrick Crowell and William Whalen.
Students have the unique option to take their final exams remotely or in person at Argonaut. The course began on October 30th and held its final study session on Thursday, December 11th. Most students are scheduled to test this week.
Tuition for the course is $650, including all required materials—an intentionally accessible price point compared to other local offerings that cost more than twice as much. Our goal from the beginning was to make captain training both high-quality and affordable, because increasing the number of well-trained, safety-conscious captains makes Cleveland’s waterways safer for everyone.
Looking ahead, we plan to offer this course annually and are exploring additional partnerships with Practical Navigator Training to expand the maritime education opportunities available through Argonaut.
It was an amazing opportunity for students to get first-hand knowledge about the daily duties and responsibilities.
Thank you, Port of Cleveland, for welcoming our students and being such a valued partner!
THE 9TH ANNUAL DAM PUMPKIN DROP

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!
