Rigorous, engaging and inspiring, Tech's academies and programs are schools within a school that prepare students to excel in college and career.
As a full-service Community School, Tech provides wraparound resources that position students to succeed academically, socially and emotionally.
Tech has a history of athletic excellence which continues to this day as students compete and shine in intramural and interscholastic sports.
With classes in dance, instrumental music and theatre as well as a vibrant after school Performing Arts program, Tech gives voice to free and creative expression.
A microcosm of the city it calls home, Tech has taught and inspired generations of Oakland families since its founding in 1914.
Seniors, get help with anything and everything college related during Tech’s second (and final!) 2018 College Crunch week. The library will be open — and counselors and college advisors will be on hand — 9 AM to 3:30 PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 26, 27, 29 and 30 to help you tackle your applications and personal essays. You must get permission and a blue pass from your teachers to be allowed in during class time. Remember, the deadline to apply to UCs and CSUs is Friday, Nov. 30. We’re here to help you cross the finish line!
Tech’s Student Government officers create, organize, facilitate and bring to life many events and programs that help make the Bulldog experience a great one for students. Be sure to review what’s happening and what’s being planned:
Open to all students at all Math levels, Math Mentors is hosted by math teachers, community volunteers and paid Tech student tutors. There’s no need to sign up — just drop in! Snacks are available.
Funding for Math Mentors is provided by the PTSA and the Math Dept. Please email Natalie Mann, Math Dept. Chair, at natalie.mann@ousd.org with any questions.
Senior Portraits will be taken by Prestige via Lifetouch.
Prestige Portraits mailed letters to seniors and their parents/guardians at the end of Sept. which included a separate card with each student’s scheduled appointment date and time along with a confirmation code. For those who did not receive a letter, here is the master list. You must confirm or change your appointment at prestigeportraits.com. Simply input the code and follow the directions. Students who cannot make their scheduled Oct. appointment will be rescheduled for the Nov. session.
The appointment list is also posted on the main campus outside of the Attendance and Main offices, the Counseling office, and the Treasurer’s office. Students on the Upper Campus may check in the UC office — Ms. Bryan will give you your appointment and appointment code.
Lastly, there is a $10 fee to take your photos, even if you choose not to purchase them. Lifetouch has waived the $50.00 deposit for all seniors. Seniors who choose not to take a photo will not have their photo in the yearbook. Seniors who take their photo with other photographers will not get their photo in the yearbook.
