What is High Schools that Work (HSTW)?

High Schools That Work connects college-ready academics, challenging career pathways and hands-on workplace learning to credentials and degrees and emerging career opportunities.

Teaching to Lead

Principals, teachers and counselors use powerful instructional strategies, curricula and professional development to reorganize instruction around rigorous assignments. Students master academic, technical, technological, cognitive and workplace skills and graduate ready for college and careers. HSTW has transformed more than 4,000 schools in 36 states.
