The school's sports mascot is the "Kadet" (KAY-det), a fictional bird of mythical proportions that is representative of a baby falcon. The name itself is a reference to the fact that the high school can be seen as a "little sibling" to the Air Force Academy. The USAFA college students are called "Cadets," and the AAHS mascot name was replaced with a K, resulting in "Kadet."

==History==
The school was opened in 1957<!--1956?--> on the grounds of the United States Air Force Academy for the 1957–58 academic year and had its first commencement ceremony in 1958, making the class of 2019 its 62nd graduating class. It is the second oldest high school in Colorado Springs, behind [[Palmer High School (Colorado)|Palmer High School]].

It was originally constructed as just one building, which is now referred to as 'A' Building, which was finished in 1959, and includes all classrooms in the 100s. 'B' Building was added the second year after the original building was constructed, and consists of the rooms in the 200s. Through the years, two other buildings were constructed to supplement the growing student population, 'C' (300s and cafeteria) and 'D' (400s and 500s) Building. The latest addition, an extension to D Building that includes all classrooms in the 500s, was completed in 1998 and consisted of several new classrooms, as well as a new gym and band room. Both gyms are located in A Building, while the smallest gym (in C Building) was converted to a weightlifting gym in 2004.

In 2018, B Building and the library were remodeled. The process began in early summer of 2018 and was finished before the spring term. Into the next year, A Building will also be remodeled. Both of these projects were motivated by the asbestos present in the buildings, due to their time period of construction, in the 1950s.

The school was recognized by ''Newsweek'' in 2004 and 2005 as being one of the top 1000 public high schools in the country in terms of academic achievement.

Air Academy is also an 11-time winner of the John Irwin School of Excellence Award (2001-2007, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016) from the Colorado Department of Education.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdeawards/johnirwin|title=Colorado John Irwin Schools of Excellence Awards}}</ref>
