Brooklyn Technical High School, commonly called Brooklyn Tech and administratively designated Loftier Schoolhouse 430, is an aristocracy New York City public magnet high school that specializes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is ane of iii original specialized high schools operated past the New York City Department of Didactics, along with Stuyvesant High School and the Bronx High School of Science. Brooklyn Tech is considered one of the country'south well-nigh prestigious and selective high schools.^{[4] [5]} Brooklyn Tech is ranked #2 in New York City and #22 overall in the United States for college readiness and graduation rates.^[6]

Access to Brooklyn Tech involves taking the Specialized Loftier Schools Admissions Test and scoring the cutoff for Brooklyn Tech. Each November, near 30,000 eighth and 9th graders take the iii-hour test for admittance to 8 of the ix specialized loftier schools. About 1,900 to 1,950 students are admitted each year.

Brooklyn Tech counts top scientists, inventors, innovators, Fortune 500 company CEOs and founders, high-ranking diplomats, academic scholars, literary and media figures, professional athletes, National Medal recipients, Nobel laureates, and Olympic medalists amidst its alumni.

Overview [edit]

Access [edit]

Admission to Brooklyn Tech is based exclusively the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT), open up to all eighth-grade and first-time 9th-course New York Urban center students. The test has math (word issues and ciphering) and verbal (reading comprehension and grammar) sections. Of the approximately 30,000 students taking the SHSAT for September 2011 access, with 23,085 students listing Brooklyn Tech as a choice on their application, about i,951 offers were made (the near of any of the specialized high schools, partly due to BTHS's size).^{[vii] [8]}

Graduation requirements [edit]

There take long been "service credit" requirements, dating to at least the 1950s and probable earlier, for a student to receive a Brooklyn Tech diploma. Beginning with the class of 2010, each student must meet the following requirements by the end of their senior year to receive a BTHS diploma:^[ix]

I. A minimum of l hours of customs service outside of the school or through specified club activities.

II. A minimum of 32 service credits earned through participation in Tech clubs, teams, and/or participation in designated school related events.

Service credits are earned as follows:
one. 8 service credits per term to all students in Legacy Clubs; Student Regime (SGO); Student Productions; and/or PSAL Teams (including Cheerleading),
2. 6 service credits per term to all students working on office squads; participating in Educatee Leadership; who agree membership in a affiliate of an honor society; and/or are in clubs that correspond Brooklyn Tech in some significant activities,
three. 4 service credits per term to all students who participate in all other clubs non referred to above.
four. Service Credits numbering less than a maximum of 4 can be given to students who participate in unique, yet insignificant activities as determined by a member of faculty.

Reputation [edit]

Brooklyn Tech is one of the most elite, prestigious and selective high schools in the United States.^{[4] [5]} Together with Stuyvesant Loftier School and Bronx High School of Science, information technology is ane of the three original Specialized High Schools of New York City, operated by the New York City Department of Educational activity, all three of which The Washington Mail cited in 2006 as among the country's best magnet schools (a category the school is frequently placed in, though its founding predates the concept of a "magnet schoolhouse", whose intended purpose was not the same).^[10] Admission is past competitive test. Equally a public school, BTHS has no tuition fee, simply only students who reside in New York City are allowed to attend, as per the Hecht-Calandra Act.^[a]

Brooklyn Tech ranked 2nd in New York Country on the 2021 U.South. News & Globe Report "Best Loftier Schools" list, making it the highest ranked Specialized High School.^[11] In 2008 Newsweek listed it amongst five public high schools that were non in the magazine's 13 "Public Elite" ranking, explaining, "Newsweek 'south Challenge Alphabetize is designed to recognize schools that challenge average students, and non magnet or charter schools that describe only the best students in their areas. These [...] were excluded from the list of acme loftier schools because [...] their sky-high SAT and ACT scores signal they accept few or no average students".^[12] In the 2020 U.S. News ranking, Brooklyn Tech was in the top 8 loftier schools in New York State and in the summit 50 in the nation.^[xiii]

Brooklyn Tech is a founding member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology. Routinely, 99% of its graduates are accepted to four-year colleges^[14] with the 2022 graduating class existence offered more than $150 1000000 in scholarships and grants.^[15] In 2011, U.Southward. News & World Report ranked Brooklyn Tech among the nation's 50 all-time high schools for mathematics and science.^[16] It was ranked #2 on Niche'southward "Standout High Schools in America" listing.^[17]

History [edit]

In 1918, Dr. Albert 50. Colston, chair of the Math Section at Manual Training High School, recommended establishing a technical loftier schoolhouse for Brooklyn boys. His plan envisioned a heavy concentration of math, science, and drafting courses with parallel paths leading either to college or to a technical career in industry. Past 1922, Dr. Colston's concept was approved by the Board of Education, and Brooklyn Technical High School opened in a converted warehouse at 49 Flatbush Avenue Extension, with 2,400 students. This location, in the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge, is the reason the schoolhouse seal bears that bridge'due south paradigm, rather than the more obvious symbol for the borough, the Brooklyn Bridge. Brooklyn Tech would occupy one more location earlier settling into its site at 29 Fort Greene Identify, for which the groundbreaking was held in 1930.^[18]

Early years [edit]

Atypical for American high schools, Brooklyn Tech uses a system of college-manner majors. The curriculum consists of two years of general studies with a technical and engineering science emphasis, followed by two years of a educatee-called major.

The curriculum remained largely unchanged until the end of Dr. Colston's xx-twelvemonth term as master in 1942. Upon his retirement, Tech was led briefly past acting principal Ralph Breiling, who was succeeded by Principal Harold Taylor in 1944. Tech'due south modernization would come under Principal William Pabst, who assumed stewardship in 1946 after serving every bit chair of the Electrical Department. Pabst created new majors and refined older ones, allowing students to select scientific discipline and engineering preparatory majors including Aeronautical, Architecture, Chemical, Civil, Electric (afterward including Electronics and Broadcast), Industrial Pattern, Mechanical, Structural, and Arts and Sciences. A general College Preparatory curriculum was added afterward.

Principal Pabst retired in 1964. A railroad club was established by the tardily Vincent Gorman, a social studies instructor, and students attended fan trips, tours of rail repair facilities and participated in the restoration of steam engine #103 and a historic runway passenger automobile at the sometime Empire Land Railroad Museum. In August 1965, a x-year-old boy named Carl Johnson drowned in the swimming pool at Brooklyn Tech while pond with his day-military camp group.^{[ commendation needed ]} The next year, more than 30 graduating Seniors in the school (including many student leaders) complained that Tech's curriculum was old and outdated. Their primary complaint was that the curriculum was geared toward the small minority of students who were not planning on attending higher.^{[ citation needed ]} In 1967 the schools of New York Metropolis got to view television receiver in the classrooms for the start time, thanks to the 420-foot WNYE-TV belfry atop Brooklyn Tech.

For the schoolhouse year beginning in the final half of 1970, young women began attending;^[xix] all three NYC specialized and test-required science high schools were at present coeducational.

Incorporation into specialized high schoolhouse arrangement and later years [edit]

In 1972, Brooklyn Tech, Bronx Scientific discipline, Stuyvesant High School, and High School for Performing Arts become incorporated past the New York Land Legislature equally specialized high schools of New York City. The act called for a uniform exam to be administered for access to Brooklyn Tech, Bronx Science, and Stuyvesant. The exam would become known as the Specialized Loftier Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) and tested students in math and English. With its statewide recognition, the school had to become co-educational.

In 1973, Tech celebrated its 50th anniversary with a dinner-dance at the Waldorf Astoria. To further commemorate the anniversary, a monument was erected, with a fourth dimension capsule beneath it, in the north courtyard. The monument has eight panels, each with a unique design representing each of Tech'south eight majors at that indicate.^{[ citation needed ]}

In 1983, Matt Mandery's appointment as master made him the first Tech alumnus to hold that position.^[20] The following year, Tech received the Excellence in Instruction accolade from the U.S. Department of Pedagogy.^{[ citation needed ]} The Alumni Clan was formally created during this time,^[20] and coalitions were formed with the New York City Department of Transportation.^{[ citation needed ]} Mandery oversaw the addition of a Bio-Medical major to the curriculum. John Tobin followed as principal in 1987, abolished the Materials Scientific discipline department, and closed the seventh-flooring foundry.^{[ citation needed ]}

In the mid-1980s, a vehement street gang known as the Decepticons were founded at Brooklyn Tech.^{[21] [22]} As well, in 2000, the city issued a special report apropos the lack of notification to constabulary enforcement during a string of robberies within the high schoolhouse, including armed robbery with knives and stun guns.^[23]

Recent years [edit]

In March 1998, an alumni group led by Leonard Riggio, form of 1958, announced plans for a fund-raising entrada to raise $10 million to back up their alma mater financially through facilities upgrades, the establishment of curriculum enhancements, faculty preparation, and a university-type endowment.^[24] The endowment fundraiser, the first of its kind for an American public schoolhouse, received front-page attending in The New York Times and sparked a friendly contest amongst the specialized high schools, with both Bronx Science and Stuyvesant announcing their ain $ten 1000000 campaigns within weeks of the Brooklyn Tech announcement. In Nov 2005, the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Association announced the completion of the fundraising phase of what they had termed the Campaign for Brooklyn Tech.^[25] In April 2008, the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation launched a 2nd endowment campaign.^[26]

16 alumni died in the September 11 attacks in 2001. They are Dennis Cross '59, Ronald F. Orsini '60, Joel Miller '63, Sheldon R. Kanter '66, Stephen Johnson '75, Danny Libretti '76, Dominick East. Calia '79, Dipti Patel '81, Andre Fletcher '82, Courtney Westward. Walcott '82, Gerard Jean Baptiste '83, Wai C. Chung '84, Paul Innella '85, Michael McDonnell '85, Thomas Tong '87, and Paul Ortiz '98.^[27]

Since 2001, Brooklyn Tech has undergone such refurbishing as the renovation of the schoolhouse'due south William L. Mack Library archway, located on the 5th-floor center department. As well, ii computer labs were added. The school too reinstated a class devoted to the study of Shakespeare, which students can elect to accept in their senior yr.

Lee McCaskill [edit]

Dr. Lee D. McCaskill, the appointed principal in 1992, served for 14 years, during which Tech saw the installation of more than computer classrooms and the switch from the traditional mechanical drawing by mitt to teaching the use of estimator-aided design programs.

In 2000, the Special Commissioner of Investigation for the NYC School District wrote a report condemning Brooklyn Technical High Schoolhouse administrators for failing to written report several armed robberies that took place in the bathrooms and stairwells.^[28]

In 2003, The New York Times published an investigative commodity that noted "longstanding tensions" between the faculty and Master McCaskill, "spilled into the open in October, with news reports that several teachers accused him of repeatedly sending sexually explicit electronic mail letters from his school estimator to staff members." While the commodity praised him for his addition of music and sports programs, it generally described the master every bit autocratic, controlling the schoolhouse "largely through fear and intimidation," and documented acts of personal vindictiveness toward teachers; severe censorship of the pupil newspaper and of assigned English texts, including the refusal to let the Pulitzer Prize-finalist novel Continental Drift past Russell Banks be used for a course; and of bureaucratic mismanagement.^[29] A follow-up column in 2004 found that there was increased instructor exodus, specifically documenting Principal McCaskill'south campaign against Alice Alcala, who described as ane of the city's leading Shakespeare teachers. Alcala had won Brooklyn Tech a $x,000 grant and brought in the Regal National Theatre of Great britain for student workshops, but after Alcala had washed so, McCaskill repeatedly denied her admission to the auditorium and gave her low performance rankings. Shortly after, Alcala left for Manhattan's Murry Bergtraum High School, where she brought in $one,800 in grants for Shakespeare teaching; meanwhile, at Brooklyn Tech, there was no longer any course solely devoted to Shakespeare, according to the column.^[30]

In two newspaper articles in 2005, it was revealed that a $10,000 grant obtained by Dr. Sylvia Weinberger in 2001 to refurbish the obsolete radio studio remained unused. New classroom computers were covered in plastic rather than installed because the classrooms had even so to be wired for them.^{[31] [32]}

The Role of Special Investigations of the New York Urban center Section of Teaching launched an investigation of McCaskill on February ii, 2006, apropos unpaid enrollment of New Jersey resident McCaskill's daughter in a New York City public school, which is illegal for non-residents of the city. Dr. McCaskill produced a charter claiming that he rented an apartment in Brooklyn, but the copyright date on the charter was subsequently the signatures were dated.^[33] On February half dozen, McCaskill appear his resignation from Brooklyn Tech and agreed to pay $19,441 in restitution.^{[ citation needed ]}

A calendar week later special commissioner Richard J. Condon rebuked the Department of Didactics for allowing McCaskill to retire, nevertheless collecting $125,282 in accrued vacation fourth dimension, just days before the OSI completed its investigation. Condon also recommended that Cathy Furman McCaskill, the master's married woman, exist dismissed from her position as a instructor at Boys and Girls Loftier School in Brooklyn for her office in submitting fake leases and other fraudulent documents to indicate the family unit lived in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn.^{[34] [35]} The adjacent day, the Department of Instruction announced that it would fire her.^[36] Afterward retiring from Brooklyn Tech, McCaskill became principal of Hillside Loftier Schoolhouse in New Bailiwick of jersey, where in 2013, he resigned following accusations he spanked a female educatee.^[37]

Randy Asher [edit]

On Feb 7, 2006, the Department of Educational activity named Randy Asher, founding principal of the High School for Math, Science and Engineering (HSMSE), as interim acting principal.^[38] Asher had previously served as Brooklyn Tech's banana principal in mathematics from 2000 to 2002 before leaving to become founding primary of HSMSE. During his fourth dimension equally chief, the total educatee enrollment increased from four,200 to 5,700.^[39] In the beginning of January 2017, Asher abruptly left Tech to take on a new position every bit an NYC Education Department senior counselor to aid reduce the Absent Teacher Reserve.^[39] Throughout Asher'due south tenure, the school'due south reputation was sullied by several allegations of sexual harassment and set on of students by faculty members, resulting in the termination of Sean Shaynak (an aerospace engineering teacher hired by Asher) and the reassignment of English language teacher and schoolhouse newspaper advisor David Lo.^{[40] [41]} Music instructor Marisa Cazanave abruptly resigned in the fall of 2022 when faced with charges of having an inappropriate relationship with a male student.^[42] The school was also rocked by allegations of racism against black students and Asher faced mounting educatee pressure on social media to gear up the situation.^[43] Following Asher's departure, onetime assistant principal David Newman took on the new position every bit acting principal of the specialized high school. In February 2020, Newman was appointed principal.^[44]
