AN UNPARALLELED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION AND FOUNDATION
Brooklyn Technical High School has been at the forefront of STEM education since its inception 100 years ago. Tech has the highest enrollment of any high school in the U.S. and is considered the largest specialized STEM high school in the country. Tech has expanded to encompass a growing number of career paths, and today more than 6,000 outstanding, young NYC scholars are given the chance to soar each year. The best and brightest minds come to Tech from every neighborhood, socioeconomic background and culture.
As technology accelerates, so does the cost of delivering an outstanding education. New York’s public education system, responsible for 1.1 million children in more than 1,800 schools, cannot fully meet the needs of a one-of-a-kind school like Tech. Since 1983, the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation has relied on supporters like you to maintain Tech’s level of educational excellence, and also deepen the impact of our middle school STEM Pathways initiative.
