New Century is a great school to attend, we are known for being one of the most diverse schools in Alabama. We are determined to be the best, and we have our test scores show it. Personally I was scouted to go to new century when I was in the 8th grade. Every since acceptance I knew it was a different type of school. From day one I was always welcomed with open arms. Although we don't have sports our academics make up for it. My graduating class is different from other schools we have less then 120 people in my graduating class. We are a technology school which focuses on our three main strands, Biomedical, Computer science , and engineering . At New Century principals and staff push us to be strand completers. In order to be a strand completer you must complete two strand classes per year until you graduate. Our strand classes prepare us for life after high school. In our stand classes we learn more about our career field with more hands on experience.
New Century Technology High School is a awesome school! Lots of dual enrollment opportunities, and lots of students resources. I am currently enrolled in New Century as a freshman. In this school, I am involved in JROTC and Cyber Security. The JROTC goal is to motivate young students into better citizens. The Cyber Security goal is to protect computers and servers.
I would not recommend you send your child here. The school brands itself as a technology school, but most of the classes don't actually teach anything. Do not expect to learn cyber security, it falls on the students to teach themselves.
There are teachers that have openly insulted students and made multiple racist remarks in class, but nothing is done about it.
This school only ranks well because the students that enroll are already at the top of their classes. There is no mental health support for the students, they do nothing when students struggle and fail.
The staff doesn't care about the students. Don't go here.
