"From the standpoint of the New Technology Foundation, I think Tech
Valley High School has the potential to be the best school we've been associated with. Nothing like this is going on
in Silicon Valley, in Austin, Texas, in the Research Triangle – in the communities you are competing with. This is
the only school that I'm dealing with that has this kind of community support."
Bob Pearlman,
director of strategic planning,
New Technology Foundation
