Seats available in CMSD's high-performing, tech-savvy high schools

At CMSD's New Tech Academies students have replaced textbooks with iPads and other academic technologies. Teachers are hand-picked for their knowledge and dedication to the New Technology curriculum.


Seats are available now in three of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s highest performing schools, including three New Technology Academies—the only high schools of their kind in Ohio.

“New Tech isn’t like any other high school,” says graduating senior Jerald Goins. “I want other students to know that New Tech’s technology-based learning program helps students achieve and also to succeed in life.”

That goal is possible, says Goins, when you combine the latest technology with top-notch teachers and a dedicated principal—a winning combination at New Tech East, located at East Tech High School, where project-based learning keeps students engaged in a 21st century school environment.

New Tech East Principal Ryan Durr is hoping students throughout Cleveland will take advantage of CMSD’s New Tech Academy, and he is encouraging parents to choose New Tech East to put their children on a fast track to success.

“I enjoy demonstrating to parents and students what a 21st-century education looks like,” said Durr, whose students have replaced textbooks with iPads and other academic technologies and whose teachers were hand-picked for their knowledge and dedication to the New Technology curriculum.  “Parents are surprised to learn students don’t have to be computer whizzes when they get here. Everything they need, we can teach them.”

New Tech East, located at East Tech School building on East 55thStreet, had 175 students this year, but can accommodate 400 students in grades 9-12 for the 2013-2014 school year.

New Tech West High School, is located at Max Hayes High School, 4600 Detroit Avenue, and New Tech Facing History High School, is housed at Charles A. Mooney, 3213 Montclair Avenue.
