Meet the High School High Tech
Student Ambassadors
The Able Trust is excited to welcome our 2024-25 High School High Tech (HSHT) Ambassadors. Our Ambassadors are vital to The Able Trust and we are excited to hear their stories about the impact High School High Tech is having on their lives as they plan for life after high school.
This year’s Ambassadors includes six students chosen for their active participation in High School High Tech and compelling video presentations:
- Alyssa Albertie, Nassau County HSHT
- Eljai Brown, Gulf County HSHT
- Alexandra “Axel” Garcia, Broward County HSHT
- Zachary Martinez, Orange County HSHT
- Byron Thomas, Duval County HSHT
- Will Vega, Brevard County HSHT
During this school year, the ambassadors will have the opportunity to meet local business leaders, make presentations and strengthen their communications skills.
Stay tuned for more information and updates on this year's Ambassadors!
Get Involved with High School High Tech
The Able Trust is celebrating the 30th anniversary of High School High Tech.
In 1994, The Able Trust’s first High School High Tech (HSHT) program launched with six students at a single site in Brevard County. Today, HSHT serves over 1,200 students across Florida.
HSHT offers a wide range of hands-on activities and experiences to expand students’ educational and career options. From tours of businesses; to college and technical school visits; to mock interviews and Q&A sessions with industry experts, this program opens a world of possibilities many of these students may not have considered.
