The Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High is the original High Tech High (HTH)school.
Founded in the fall of 2000, the school is located at HTH Village in San Diego and serves approximately 490 students in grades 9-12.
The school offers an inquiry-based liberal arts curriculum. Lines between “academics” and “technical” are deliberately blurred.
Courses taken at other schools are not the equivalent of those offered at HTH.
Students may take junior and senior core classes for honors credit for which the University of California will grant weighted GPA’s.
Students may take community college courses at the community college in the mornings, evenings, or weekends.
Through the Manpower Academic Internships, students work and learn at businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations and professional associations around San Diego County. Internships are unpaid; every student is matched with an individual mentor.
