CCNTH by the numbers... Central Coast New Tech High students are engaged in their learning AND rock their academics!  The last round of state testing was in 2019 before any Covid-19 restrictions and our students outperformed ALL of the schools in our county for English Language Arts (ELA) and ALL of the schools in Lucia Mar for Math!!  And... They are getting those A-G requirements and lots of college credits, which qualifies them for moving on to a 4-year university AND makes them competitive too!

The primary goals of our Advisory program are to provide SUPPORT, CONNECTION, and GROWTH over a student's time at CCNTH. Students are assigned an advisor their first year and then they see that same advisor every week until they graduate. Advisory classes are also a mix of all grade levels, so students have a chance to provide support and grow connections with each other as well. Finally, the Advisory program provides students with even more opportunities for growth through Passion Projects, which are short extra curricular classes and workshops offered throughout the year, and then the program culminates with support for developing a Professional Portfolio and delivering a successful Senior Defense of their learning throughout high school, which is required for graduation from CCNTH.

It can be a difficult choice to follow a different path and we've heard from many students that their parents "made them go to New Tech" . However, we almost always hear from those same students that they were so glad they did. Our students have many reasons for staying at CCNTH and you can hear some of their stories in the video below made by Sophia Martino, Class of 2022. There is one reason that stands out though and we hear it over and over again... Students LOVE the school culture at CCNTH. Again, the numbers speak for themselves. Even during the height of Covid-19 restrictions, our students felt connected to their CCNTH family and engaged in a positive learning environment through Project-Based Learning (PBL).
