High Tech Elementary (HTE) is a public school located in the Stapleton/Central Park neighborhood of Denver, operating under the Denver Public Schools (DPS) district. The school is part of a unique network of "High Tech" schools that emphasize a project-based learning (PBL) curriculum. Rather than relying solely on traditional rote memorization, the school focuses on hands-on experiences, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving. Students often engage in interdisciplinary projects that allow them to connect classroom concepts with their community and broader societal issues, aiming to foster both academic mastery and a sense of citizenship.

Beyond its academic structure, High Tech Elementary is known for its strong emphasis on school culture and community involvement. The school prioritizes a collaborative environment where students, teachers, and families are encouraged to work together. Because it is a highly sought-after choice school within the DPS system, it typically features a vibrant, engaged parent community. By integrating technology and design-thinking into their daily routines, the school strives to prepare young learners not just for the next grade level, but for the collaborative and innovative demands of the future.
