A Brotherhood Built for Albany's Young Men.
Founded to close the opportunity gap, Green Tech High serves ~440 boys in grades 6–12 with a college-preparatory education rooted in safety, structure, and love.
A Future Where Every Young Man in Albany Thrives.
We envision an Albany where education determines destiny. Every young man in our city deserves a school that believes in him, challenges him, and equips him with the skills to graduate from high school and succeed in college, career, and civic life.
Green Tech High is that school. We combine the high expectations of a college-preparatory program with the care of a small learning community, so students grow into confident scholars, ethical leaders, and committed family men.
“Green Tech is such a great school The teachers actually want me to succeed, and so I have.”

Empowering Young Men to Rise, Lead, and Serve.
To empower every young man who walks through our doors to rise above limits, lead with integrity, and build a future of purpose. We exist to close the opportunity gap in Albany by providing a tuition-free, college-preparatory education that honors the strength of brotherhood, the discipline of scholarship, and the dignity of every student.
At Green Tech High, we do not just prepare boys for graduation—we prepare men for life. This mission is the heartbeat of every classroom, advisory group, athletic practice, and family conference at our school.
Our Core Values
Five pillars guide every decision we make and every young man we mentor. From the science lab to the athletic field, these values shape the character and scholarship of every Green Tech High student.
Hands-on learning in our science labs brings scholarship to life.
Brotherhood
We build a lifelong community where every student is known, supported, and held accountable by peers and mentors.
Scholarship
We pursue academic excellence through rigorous coursework, critical thinking, and a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom.
Integrity
We act with honesty, respect, and responsibility—on campus, in competition, and in the community.
Resilience
We teach young men to overcome challenges, learn from setbacks, and keep moving toward their goals.
Service
We cultivate leaders who give back to Albany and use their talents to uplift others.
Safety, Culture & College Outcomes
The foundation of everything we do—so families can send their sons to school with confidence, knowing they will be safe, supported, and prepared for what comes next.
A Safe Campus
Uniformed environment, staffed entry, and a clear code of conduct enforced with dignity create a learning space where students feel physically and emotionally secure.
Mentorship That Sticks
Advisory groups of about 12 keep every young man known by name from 6th grade through graduation. Advisors check grades, set goals, and partner with families.
95% Graduation Rate
Our graduation rate is well above state and district averages. The vast majority of our graduates continue to two- and four-year colleges, workforce training, or military service.
Family Partnership
Weekly communication, home visits, and translator support for Spanish-speaking families ensure parents are true partners in their son's education.
Our Commitment to Every Family
Choosing a high school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. We promise to honor that trust by providing a safe, structured, and loving environment where your son can discover his strengths, confront his challenges, and graduate ready for the next chapter.
Green Tech High is a tuition-free public charter school, authorized by the SUNY Charter Schools Institute. We do not charge tuition, require an entrance exam, or turn young men away based on prior academic performance. If you are ready to work hard, we are ready to walk beside you.
