Our Mission
Starting with the 2015-16 school year, we have united Edison Career and Technology High School in the City School District, poised to be a positive force in the Rochester and Finger Lakes regional economy.
Edison Tech students take rigorous academic and technical coursework along with work-based learning in four distinct career pathways. Our mission is to ensure that an Edison Tech graduate is exceptionally well prepared for jobs in high-demand, rewarding career fields.
