"Nor must we omit to mention among the benefits of education the incalculable advantage of training up able counselors to administer the affairs of our country in all its departments, legislative, executive and judiciary, and to bear their proper share in the councils of our national government: nothing more than education advancing the prosperity, the power, and the happiness of a nation."

Thomas Jefferson: Report for University of Virginia, 1818

Enabling the Research and Technology Leaders of Tomorrow

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is a learning community of extraordinary interactions and dialogue. On its campus, students, faculty, mentors, and their ideas all come together in exciting ways—creating new synergies and envisioning new solutions that foster both intellectual growth and research excellence.

Advancing research requires additional resources—to continue the excellent work underway, to re-tool Jefferson's labs to broaden their offerings, and to secure Jefferson's prominence as our nation's top academic high school. Corporate support for this priority advances Jefferson's 21st century mission and helps to raise the ceiling for national standards in mathematics, science and technology secondary education.

Overall Program Goals

Advance the ongoing evolution of “best practices” in mathematics, science and technology curriculum, and Jefferson’s dedication to developing, evaluating and sharing innovative ideas regionally, nationally and internationally;
Enrich classroom and laboratory instruction, and mentorship;
Innovate individual student and overall laboratory research initiatives;
Broaden student opportunities for “real-world” interface with industry on new and emerging technologies;
Assure availability and student access to state of the art equipment and material.
