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.
One of the best ways for incoming 9th graders to get a taste of the Bulldog experience is through Tech’s Summer Bridge, a program focused on helping incoming freshmen transition from middle school to high school. Summer Bridge cultivates a diverse community of students and aims to prepare them to engage actively with and meet the challenges of a large comprehensive Oakland high school.
We offer two one-week sessions: July 8-12 and July 15-19. There are 120 spaces for each week. We’ll do our best to accommodate your preference, but generally all spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

All new and returning students have received either an email or a text message from the OUSD Student Welcome Center with information about registering online. This is an exciting new development, and it is sure to save families a lot of time and stress.
Here are the steps you need to take to ensure a smooth process:
Log into Schoolmint here using the sign-in information you received in your email or text.
Your login should be either your email address or primary phone number. Once you are in Schoolmint, you can complete your registration documents online and submit them.
If you are not able to log into Schoolmint, please send an email to Mr. Fairly at richard.fairly@ousd.org.
Students must come to Tech in person — it’s mandatory! — to pick up their photo ID cards and class schedules. (Yes, this means that parents are no longer required to come.) We tentatively plan to check-out textbooks during in-person registration this year, too. Can’t attend on either the 5th or 6th? Review the schedule below.
| 9th – 10th | 11th – 12th | Make-Up Day | |
| Registration Day | Monday 8/5/19 9 AM – 2 PM 9th & 10th Grade _________ 9th Grade Orientation: 3 sessions @ 9 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM | Tuesday 8/6/19 9 AM – 2 PM 10th-12th Grades _________ Evening session by pre-scheduled appointment only: 5 – 7 PM | Friday 8/9/19 9 AM – 2 PM, by pre-scheduled appointment only All Grades |
Students who need to register during the evening session on Tuesday, Aug. 6, or on the Make-Up Day on Friday, Aug. 9, MUST send an email request to Ms. Boytes at marisol.boytes@ousd.org to pre-schedule an appointment.
Tech will use Yellow Cards again this year to manage the in-person registration process. The student will take the registration card to each station and receive a passport stamp indicating that the step has been completed. No students who have incomplete immunization records will be allowed to begin the in-person registration process, in accordance with district policy.
Here’s the tentative plan for registration. Check back here later in the summer as details and more information become available.
