On Tuesday, June 18th, the Brooklyn Tech Class of 2024, more than 1,300 strong, joyfully graduated at the Barclays Center. Families packed the stadium to celebrate these exceptional students, the first class since Brooklyn Tech’s founding in 1922 to start their Tech journeys entirely remotely. Despite this unprecedented challenge, they exhibited remarkable tenacity and energy, fully embracing in-person instruction and extracurricular life at Tech. The Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation staff and board of directors were thrilled to be on hand to welcome these newest members to our alumni family.

NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams ’94, who returned to Tech in April for his 30th reunion and again on June 8th for the BTHS Caribbean Culture Club Carnival celebration, delivered the keynote commencement address. Reflecting on his own experiences, he noted, “From 1994 to 2024, I have been shaped by the lessons learned and connections made at Brooklyn Tech.” His inspiring message to the graduates was clear: “Your education can inspire you to change the city and the world.”
