A charter school system established in 2000 in San Diego. Technology is used as a tool for project-based learning for 500+ students.
"Despite its name and its impressive technology infrastructure, High Tech High (HTH) is not a
technology high school. Instead it is a school that merges academic and technical (hands-on)
learning. CEO/Principal Larry Rosenstock says “Technology is not studied as a subject; rather
technology tools, both 2-D and 3-D, are ubiquitous and used for producing — that is, making,
shaping, forming.” For Rosenstock, this is summed up in a common saying heard round the
school: “You can play video games at High Tech High, but only if you make them here.”
At HTH, high tech means creative production in a technology-rich learning environment.
Students use a variety of technology tools (computer, video, photography, lab equipment) to
create useful products and to demonstrate their learning. The curriculum focuses on projects
and independent work.""
