Our Vision :

All graduates are prepared to succeed in college or in a technical career.

Our Mission:

Tech High School maximizes the learning of every student.  It delivers a comprehensive, integrated curriculum with a focus on math, science, technology, and communication.  Project-based activities and real world applications make learning relevant. 

Our History:

Tech High School was created and designed as an innovative charter school, approved by

the Board of Atlanta Public Schools (APS) in July 2003 and established by the State

Board of Education in August 2003. Tech High was born out of the determination of

respected, successful business, community and educational leaders in the metropolitan

Atlanta area to deal with the student performance needs of Atlanta and the shortage of

highly skilled workers in Georgia.

The idea and original concept for Tech High was conceived by the Georgia Public Policy

Foundation based upon their research of successful schools. The Technology Association

of Georgia, representing many of the leading employers in the state, quickly adopted the

idea and offered their support. Don Chapman, a Georgia Tech graduate, Atlanta native

and entrepreneur, took the early leadership of the Tech High Foundation, and noted

educator Dr. Barbara Christmas took the helm as Tech High’s first Chief Executive Officer.
