LEARNING OVERVIEW FOR DATA STUDENTS

At the Design and Technology Academy, located on the newly renovated Roosevelt High School campus, any 8th or 9th grade student may apply, with the freshman class each year selected by lottery, producing a diverse student body. Students are provided a college preparatory education within the context of a "school within a school." All students may participate in any extra-curricular activity and are encouraged to do so, in that extra curricular activities assist in creating a well rounded individual. 120 hours of community service, a 120 hour career-exploration internship, and a guided senior research and production project are just some of the expectations of a DATA graduate.
