Welcome to the 2025–26 School Year!
We’re excited to begin another year of learning and growth together. Stay on top of key dates and help us keep our school community focused by reviewing our updated policies.
Mission & Philosophy
Pathways in Technology Early College High School, better known as P-TECH, was designed in collaboration with the New York City Department of Education, the City University of New York, and the IBM corporation. Our innovative school model spans grades 9-14, enabling students to earn both a high school diploma and a free two-year degree from New York City College of Technology (City Tech). In addition, P-TECH students prepare for careers with work-based learning experiences that includes site visits, professional mentoring and paid internships. Graduates are "first in line" for careers in information technology at IBM, where dozens of alumni now work, while others continue their education at prestigious universities such as Baruch, Syracuse, Spelman and Cornell. Students are able to move at their own pace, so that many finish high school in three years, leaving them to focus on college and careers.

Suriana Rodriguez is only 19, but she’s already lined up a full-time job at IBM. After her junior year in high school, she interned at the tech giant’s Poughkeepsie, N.Y., campus, 20 miles north of her hometown, for $17 an hour. For a year, Rodriguez has worked 40-hour weeks as an apprentice test technician, examining IBM mainframes to confirm they work before shipping them to customers. In January, she’ll move to a permanent position with a future salary that she says is “definitely much more than I ever thought I’d be making at 19.”
