Air Academy High School (AAHS) is a public high school in El Paso County, Colorado, United States that serves the northwestern end of Colorado Springs, Colorado, as well as the United States Air Force Academy. Air Academy is a part of Academy School District 20, and was built in 1957, effectively making it the oldest school in the district. It is the only high school in the U.S. built on a military academy (the school district also has an elementary school on the Air Force Academy). The school received a bond measure in 2024 from the Department of Defense to rebuild Air Academy, which will raise $83.14 million from taxpayers and the Department of Defense will provide an 80% match, creating a total of $240 million. This measure was passed in 2024 and is tentatively expected to be built in Fall 2028.
Air Academy is situated in the foothills of the Front Range, at an approximate elevation of 6,550 feet (1,995 m) above sea level.
