America is currently in the throes of a persistent high school dropout crisis that has been a long time in the making, with substantial disparities in dropout rates across race, ethnic, and income groups and geographic areas.

The absence of new funding at the federal and state level since the 1980s has led to decades of disinvestment in re-enrollment programs across the country. In the current global economy, having at least a high school diploma is a critical step for avoiding poverty, and a college degree is a prerequisite for a well-paying job. The costs of dropping out of high school today are substantial and have risen over time, especially for young men, who find it almost impossible to earn an adequate income to take care of themselves and their families (Center for Labor Market Studies, 2009).

The Governing Board has board members with expertise in various areas of management, education and communication to advise and direct the school’s administrative staff to deliver a quality career program that is innovative, unique, rigorous, and relevant to today’s electronically stimulated young adult.

An innovative business driven project based curriculum will aid students in acquiring skills required to demonstrate success in a global and viral economy.

“If we take these steps – if we raise expectations for every child, and give them the best possible chance at an education, from the day they are born until the last job they take –- we will reach the goal that I set two years ago: By the end of the decade, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.”

Coming to Dayton Tech has been a huge move from me going to Stivers. This experience, over the short period I’ve been here, has been really positive for me. It has boosted my confidence, and opened new opportunities by coming here.

The teachers/staff are really helpful. They talk to you; encourage you; help you with not only school problems, but also with outside problems. Some of the people that have helped me are Ms. Milliner, Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. Shaw, and Mr. Williams (student teacher). These people are here to push me towards a better future, and are helping me become a better person.

It’s more of a family here than at other schools I’ve attended. That’s something I really do find positive for me. Knowing everyone is here to help, gives me inspiration not to let them down.

DBTHS has impacted me because I have really changed and turned my life around since I’ve been here. It has changed me and made an impact on me because ever since I have been here my grades, my attitude, and the way I treat others have improved. DBTHS has also impacted me because the staff always has good advice, and tries to help you through your problems. In addition, impacted me because unlike other schools and teachers, the staff at DBTHS refuse to let you fail. They’re going to make sure that they push you, so that you make it.

When I started going to Dayton tech I instantly felt like I was in a good place, the staff was so supportive and caring. I really liked it because its such a small building so you get individual attention vs having 40 plus kids in one room and only the front row gets the lesson. One thing that really got me through school and helped me to graduate was Mrs. Charlton. There was never a time when I felt like she gave up on me, she was always in my face and on my back letting me know she cared and that she saw me. She isn’t your typical principle who is always in their office, she walks the halls, walks in the class rooms, stands outside at the bus stop. But the thing that I appreciate about her the most is the one on one talks when she pulls you to the side and says “what’s your phone number so I can call you in the morning to get to school”. Dayton tech is a great school and you should really take advantage of what you have because rather you realize it or not you are in a great place. And I will be in closer towards the end of the year to speak to all the students and meeting just for the seniors so take advantage of this opportunity and get to graduation.
