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. You can download a copy of the article, "Special education career program hailed as AYP booster," in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format. (Read Acrobat help below for assistance with PDF files).

“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
