Paintsville High School is bringing in a new program!

 

They partnered with the Hazard Community and Technical College to bring in a program called unmanned systems technology that will certify students to fly drones.

This program gives students the chance to become certified drone pilots.

Many are questioning what careers are available with the certification, but the opportunities are endless.

Drone pilots can go into careers in agriculture, criminal justice, and even the medical field.

Students will do online class work at the high school and have occasional work force training at HCTC.
