Join us in shaping what’s next

High Tech High was built on a bold idea: students learn best when their work connects to the real world.

Join us for an evening celebrating future-ready learning — and the community helping students prepare for what’s next, in school, in work, and in life.

Together, we honor the people and partnerships that continue to open doors for the next generation.

We are proud to honor Gary Jacobs and Jerri-Ann Jacobs

Their extraordinary generosity and belief in innovative education have helped shape High Tech High and expand opportunity for students across San Diego.

Their leadership has inspired a community that believes in what education can be — and what students can achieve when given the opportunity.

This evening celebrates their impact — and the future it continues to shape.

Honoring leadership and vision

Our goal was to prepare students for the real world. Twenty-five years later, we see our alumni doing just that, whether it’s in college, the workplace, or their communities.”

— Gary Jacobs
