AP exam invoices were emailed to NYC Students accounts last week. Students may pay cash in the SGO Store, Room 7C5, or through the online portal by Friday, March 28. If paying online, please screenshot and/or print your payment confirmation for your records since the portal does not provide receipts. For further inquiries, please contact bthstesting@schools.nyc.gov.

Next Tuesday, March 11, is the after-school Elective Course Fair for students. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors should attend to receive information on elective class options for the fall. 

We are in need of Parent Volunteers for the Accepted Students Open House on Wednesday, March 19. Please sign-up here to help us welcome the Class of 2029!

BTHS PA’s 6th Annual Spring Gala

Current Annual Fundraising Progress

(Annual Fundraising Target for 2024-2025 School Year: $370,000)

As of January 31, 2025, we are at 67% of our fundraising target. Your donation makes a profound impact on our students. It is not just about numbers; it is about inspiration and opportunities for the entire Brooklyn Tech community.

The PA is kindly asking for your generous donations to thrive and excel in our students' academics and extracurriculars. The money raised by the PA will help pay for crucial support and programs. We need your help!! Your contribution is vital to helping Brooklyn Tech High School offer all students the quality and range of opportunities. 

Our suggested amount for your gift is $750 per student. We recognize that $750 may be an easy gift for some, a stretch for many, and a real economic hardship for others. We ask that each family give whatever they are able to. Any amount counts, and every donation matters! We greatly appreciate your gift and your participation is truly important.

Matching Gifts: Another way to increase your donation to our PA is through your company’s Matching Gift program. Please contact your Human Resource department to see if your company offers matching gifts.

Thank you for your generosity, time, and consideration. The Brooklyn Tech PA relies on donations from parents, guardians, families, friends, and community businesses to fund all of the enriching programs we sponsor. A school is as strong as its parent body; we look forward to an exciting year ahead!
