Video profile of Larry Rosenstock, a 2010 Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education winner. Rosenstock is the CEO and founding principal of High Tech High (HTH). A very literal example of scaling up, HTH has grown from one school to 10 in the last decade and is approved to open up to 48 schools in California. Serving a diverse student population that is selected by a blind zip-code based lottery, over 60 percent of students are racial or ethnic minorities and 25 percent are low-income.
Nearly all HTH graduates are accepted to college. About 80 percent pursue bachelor's degrees and about 35 percent were the first in their families to attend college. The innovative and high-achieving charter schools emphasize student projects, real-world problem-solving assignments and internships with local businesses and community organizations.
