About

At HTH, learning is connected to the world beyond school. To graduate, each student must complete a substantial Academic Internship in a local business or social service agency. There is no test to get into HTH; students are accepted by lottery, resulting in an ethnically and economically diverse student body. There are about five applicants for every available place.

Scott Swaaley

9th Grade Physics Teacher

I am extremely passionate about empowering students to design and create projects that do something (i.e. are mechanically or electrically operable) and create an immerse experience for the end user. However, as a licensed electrical engineer (and geek) I am equally passionate about students building a strong base of science skills and being able to apply them in real life. I lean heavily on the principles behind Project Based Learning, constructivism, and the design principles of High Tech High.
