OFFICE HOURS & ACADEMIC COACHING
Visit Ms. Sara and Ms. Jamie after school for some support in your classes! Your teachers are also available for one on one help during office hours! Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunch is academic support in the conference room upstairs with Katelin, Jamie, and Sara! Head over there during lunch if you need some support! 

MAKING PROUD CHOICES

SUPPLIES
Students will come home with (or have already picked up) their syllabi for their classes. In each syllabus is a supply list for that class. Please bring the required items to class each day, or email ccabrera@hightechhigh.org or jhoward@hightechhigh.org (your student’s Humanities teacher) if you are unable to provide the items and we will take care of it for your student.
