Ypsilanti New Tech High School is a public school that is part of the Ypsilanti Community Schools school district, located in Ypsilanti, MI.

Ypsilanti New Tech High School (YNTHS), located on Packard Road in Ypsilanti, Michigan, is a distinctive learning community within the Ypsilanti Community Schools district. The school is part of the national New Tech Network, which emphasizes a culture of trust, respect, and responsibility. Rather than traditional lecture-based instruction, YNTHS utilizes a Project-Based Learning (PBL) model where students engage in rigorous, real-world projects that integrate multiple subject areas. This approach is designed to simulate a professional workplace environment, fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and the development of 21st-century skills.

A defining feature of the YNTHS experience is its strong emphasis on technology integration and student agency. Students are provided with 1:1 access to technology, which serves as a primary tool for research, communication, and project management. The school's philosophy centers on preparing students for life beyond high school by prioritizing "agency" (taking ownership of one's learning) and oral communication alongside academic mastery. By bridging the gap between classroom theory and practical application, Ypsilanti New Tech aims to equip its diverse student body with the adaptability and collaborative mindset necessary to succeed in modern college and career pathways.
