Mission
Gotham Tech High School is an open, welcoming, and culturally affirming community using robotics and challenge-based learning to empower students with the mindsets and skills to solve problems that matter. Our graduates will engage in joyful and meaningful learning, think deeply and critically, and grow emotionally and socially.
Vision
Gotham Tech High School is rooted in the experience of students engaging in challenges, building robots, and competing on teams; it's also rooted in the experience of watching how young adults' participation in these programs affect them and their development. GT applies the principles of design thinking to all it does, including the academic STEM and Humanities programs, and applies them to the most awesome task of developing young people's identities, building community, and preparing students for life's responsibilities, challenges, and opportunities.
