Detroit High School For Technology was a joint venture between Detroit Public Schools And The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation starting sometime between 1999-2001. It was at 18875 Ryan Rd in the annexed off workshop building at Pershing High School and shared IDÂ’s, daily planners, lunch cafeterias, auditoriums, sports teams, and Id cards with the Pershing name. The school had a no more than 165 students total and 1 teacher for every 14 students and every student was equipped with a lab top computer, college level courses and there were no shortage of textbooks.

In my opinion When the DPS school district lost control of the Pershing site, and Gov Snyder moved it to the EAA schools in 2011, it lost the funding, leaving it to close in 2012. If anyone has any information about the school, please feel free to fill me in at it has barely any mention of it online at all.
