President Obama to visit Crown Heights high school Friday
Mentioned PTECH in State of the Union
President Barack Obama plans to visit Pathways in Technology Early College High School (PTECH) in Crown Heights on Friday, as Politicker reported.
In February, Obama generated interest in the technology-centered school by mentioning it in his State of the Union speech.
“Now at schools like P-TECH in Brooklyn, a collaboration between New York public schools and City University of New York and IBM, students will graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in computers or engineering,” Obama said at the time.
Details of Obama’s visit to the school, which is on the former Paul Robeson High School campus, were not available from the White House press office on Monday, but were slated to be released on Tuesday.
