About the Program
The High School High Tech (HSHT) program is a community-based partnership that provides high school students with all types of disabilities, ages 14-22, the opportunity to explore jobs and post-secondary education while still in high school. HSHT programs have a 100% high school graduation rate. In addition, students report an increase in self-esteem while understanding the skills needed to be successful in the workforce.
The High School High Tech program is made possible with generous funding from the MAXIMUS Foundation.
