Rocketry Program
Plantation High School is widely known for its award winning Aerospace Engineering program. The Rocket Team has consistently ranked in the top brackets of several nationwide competitions in the last decade such as the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) and the Student Launch Initiative (SLI). The program led by one of the Nations best Teachers has stayed in the Top 10 in TARC for the past 7 years the only High School to ever accomplish this feat. In SLI the Aerospace program has been accepted every year to help work side by side with NASA Engineers which "contract" them to build a Rocket with a Scientific payload. With their success and interesting rocket building in SLI a set of rules was set in SLI which the program rightfully calls "Plantation Rules" for they are the reason why the rules were set in the first place.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
