Staten Island Tech

also known colloquially as "Tech", it is the only specialized high school in staten island so every smart kid on the island tries to go, but half of the school is from Brooklyn anyways. it's highly ranked as one of the best schools in the nation for no tangible reason. most ride the s79 to get there and those who dont are rich enough to get car service or have a car. it is barely trying to get more diverse but faculty is all white and play favorites so it's not working and there is always an insect infestation going on. you know everybody in your grade because Tech is tiny and overcrowded as fuck. you can get a good balance between education and social life there if you never sleep and kiss your all teachers' ass. everybody and every teacher thinks they're better than any other high school in the area (i.e. new dorp, fort hamilton). it also has a strange system of staircases where only one can access all floors.

I applied to Staten Island Tech because I didn't have another choice. It was this or Stuy or Tottenville but I chose tech because it's "more personal".

Bruh, I tried to take staircase I to the third floor but i forgot it goes to the roof so I had to run back down to the basement to take H instead. Who the fuck designed this building?

Staten Island Tech

Some of the teachers have like 4 doctorates and just give hella work and torture you for fun, other teachers become your best friends. All our sports teams suck major ass but the 2020 senior football team thought they were the coolest people on the planet. The track team is a cult of weird nerds. Half the school lives in Brooklyn despite it being in Staten Island. The ones from sheepshead bay are literally the worst people to grace the planet earth. Rude racist Russians who carry long champ bags with Gucci slides despite living in two bedroom apartments in a dog shit neighborhood in Brooklyn. The ones from the island are usually are pretty nice but some are from tottenville and make you want to kill yourself. Literally zero diversity every one is Asian and russian, youre a minority being an Irish kid. Did I mention they force you to take Russian. The Russian teachers are almost all AWFUL literally treat their class like a USSR throwback ball. Everyone’s GPA is a 4.0 and getting an 80 in a class is treated like failing out of highschool. Everyone goes to an Ivy or Binghamton and college acceptance days are treated like literal dooms day. The bathrooms are a smoke show of honors kid burnouts who are desperately trying to get through their day via nicotine and wax pens. Despite all of this I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else. You get super close with your friends and as much as you hate it one day you’ll look back and wish you could do it all again.

“What’d you do in highschool?”
“Cried, studied, and smoked in the bathrooms.”
“What?”
“Oh yeah, I went to Staten Island tech”
