The Director of CAL SOAP spoke to HTH parents about preparing and financing college. Her advice for students to do in high school: 
  • Network
  • Expand academic skills, good grades 
  • Community Service - leadership and initiative
  • Visit as many colleges as possible 
  • The squeaky wheel gets the best deal! Begin to look for scholarships in freshman year not senior year, too late. 


And parents, yes, get involved with budgeting and finance with your child. Check CAL SOAP website for FREE SAT Prep.

Hello Parents,


Do you have a business, service, or event you would like to advertise to the High Tech High community? This semester 12th grade English students are creating a school newspaper as part of the Current Events, Be Present Project. We are seeking advertising submissions for our paper. Ad prices range from $25 - $250 (options range from a 5” x 5” ad all the way up to a full page ad). This is a great way to help our team cover the cost of printing our newspaper while also promoting your business!


Please contact Priscilla Ortiz (portiz2019@hightechhigh.org), Hassan Alexander (halexander2019@hightechhigh.org), or Drew Juergensen (juergensen2019@hightechhigh.org)  if you are interested. Thank you.




















Would you like to open up your home to the world by hosting a foreign exchange student?  This year, foreign exchange students from Switzerland, Germany, and Denmark have enriched the experience of our senior teams.  Hosting a student is a great opportunity to introduce your family to another culture and create a lifelong bond.  Students are fluent in English and come for one semester or a school year.  For more information, please email Margaret Egler at megler@hightechhigh.org
