What are our teachers saying?
-Mr. David Newman, Principal
“There are aspects of our educational experience at Brooklyn Tech that we simply could not do without the support of the Parents Association. These include financial assistance, partnering with the school academically, socially, and culturally. From teacher grants, which supplement instructional experiences for our students, to Naviance, which guides students and families through the college application process. From supporting clubs and teams to enriching the social and cultural experiences for students. These are just a few examples of how the Parents Association’s support has had a profound impact on the Brooklyn Tech community, especially our students.”
“On behalf of the Caribbean Culture and Service Club, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous financial support of our 2nd Annual Caribbean Heritage Celebration at Brooklyn Technical High School. Your contribution played a vital role in helping us create a vibrant and meaningful experience for our students. Thanks to your support, our celebration was filled with authentic Caribbean cuisine, cultural games, and a lively fashion show. The event was not only fun and festive, but also educational and empowering, giving our students a space to honor their roots and celebrate cultural diversity within our school community.”
-Ms. Tracyavon Ford, School Social Worker
“On behalf of myself and the class of 2025, we want to thank you for helping to make our Sign and Dine event a huge success. We had a big crowd, enough food, and a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed it immensely.”
-Ms. Christina Massie, COSA
