High School / High Tech (HS/HT)

HS/HT is a national network of state and locally operated programs designed to provide young people with all types of disabilities the opportunity to explore jobs or further education leading to technology-related careers.

As one of the most promising comprehensive models for preparing youth with disabilities to explore careers in math science and technology, HS/HT effectively links youth to a broad range of academic, career development and experiential resources and experiences that will enable youth with disabilities to successfully meet the workforce demands of the 21st century.

New HS/HT was profiled in the June 20, 2005 issue of Education Daily.

“Entering the 2007-2008 school year, we have two classes with a total of 24 students who are looking forward to all the neat activities that their peers experienced last term. It is my belief that the High School/High Tech (HS/HT) program is a huge asset to our kids. The ‘lessons’ that are learned through the experiences and activities offered are much more meaningful than anything these kids can get from a textbook!”

–Mike Turner, ESE Career Preparation Teacher and Career Placement Coordinator at Leesburg High School, Florida
