Overview
Staten Island Technical High School, commonly abbreviated SITHS, is a public high school in the borough of Staten Island in New York City. The school takes part in New York City’s specialized high school admissions process, in which students register for and take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) [1]. Its official website is siths.org, where the school publishes admissions information, open house details, and an events calendar [1][2].
This profile summarizes what the school’s official pages state about its identity, admissions route, and family-facing services. It does not rank the school or compare it with other schools, and it does not report enrollment or performance statistics, because verified figures for those measures were not available in the sources examined.
Location and School Identity
Staten Island Technical High School is located in the borough of Staten Island, New York City. Its admissions page is maintained by the school and uses New York City Public Schools email addresses, consistent with affiliation with New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) [1]. The school’s homepage identifies the site as the official Staten Island Technical High School website and includes a principal’s message, news and announcements, and a calendar of upcoming events [2].
Two identity points are worth separating. First, the name Staten Island Technical High School refers to this specific school and should not be confused with other New York City schools whose names include Technical or Tech, such as Brooklyn Technical High School, or with career and technical education programs offered at other high schools. Second, a school’s physical location does not establish admissions eligibility. For specialized high schools, placement follows the citywide admissions process and test results rather than a residential attendance boundary or neighborhood [1].
Grades and Academic Programs
New York City’s specialized high schools generally serve students in grades 9 through 12, and entry for incoming students is determined through the SHSAT. The school’s admissions page describes testing arrangements for both 8th-grade and 9th-grade students, which reflects the citywide specialized high school admissions structure [1].
The sources examined for this profile do not contain a verified list of Staten Island Technical High School’s courses, majors, or advanced academic programs, and no program offerings should be assumed from the school’s name or type. One detail that does appear in the admissions materials is a staffing title: the school’s admissions contact is described as Assistant Principal of High School Admissions, Math, and Russian Language [1]. That title alone is not evidence of the school’s full departmental structure or course catalog. Families seeking current program information should consult the school directly.
Admissions and Enrollment
Admission to Staten Island Technical High School runs through New York City’s specialized high school admissions process, which is built around the SHSAT. The school publishes a 2025-26 admissions calendar on its admissions page. For that cycle, the high school application, the LaGuardia application, and SHSAT registration all opened on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, and SHSAT registration closed on Friday, October 31, 2025 [1].
Testing dates listed for the same cycle were:
- Wednesday, November 13, 2025 – SHSAT school day testing [1]
- Saturday and Sunday, November 15-16, 2025 – testing for 8th-grade students who did not participate in school day testing, including students attending charter, continuing (6-12), private, parochial, or independent schools, and students who are homeschooled; students with accommodations were also tested on these dates [1]
- Saturday and Sunday, November 22-23, 2025 – testing for 9th-grade students [1]
The page also notes that, beginning in fall 2025, the SHSAT is administered in a digital format, and it links to the citywide SHSAT information page for details on test administration and schedule [1]. High school offer release for the 2025-26 cycle was listed as March 2026, with the exact date to be announced [1].
Staten Island Technical High School held its fall 2025 open house on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, with sessions at 4:30 p.m., 5:15 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 6:45 p.m. The school describes the accompanying admissions materials as available for families to review in a self-guided manner [1].
All of the dates above describe a single admissions cycle, 2025-26. Registration windows, testing dates, and offer release dates are set annually and can change; families should confirm current requirements with the school and with New York City Public Schools before relying on any date. Nothing in the available evidence indicates that living near the school, or in Staten Island more broadly, confers any admissions advantage for a specialized high school [1].
Student Services and Family Information
The school’s admissions page states that members of its Instructional Support Services (ISS) team would be available in Room 136 on October 8, 2025, for families and students who may require instructional support services. The services named on that page are Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT), Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETSS), and related services [1].
The same page lists two admissions contacts: Assistant Principal of High School Admissions, Math, and Russian Language Peter Dellegrazie, and Parent Coordinator Barbara Malenfant. Email addresses for both are provided on the page, along with an invitation to contact them with questions [1].
Beyond those items, the sources examined here do not document the school’s language access services, transportation arrangements, meal programs, accessibility features, or family engagement programming. Because such services differ from school to school and can change, families should confirm them directly with the school rather than assuming availability.
School Life and Community
The school’s homepage carries a principal’s message, a news and announcements area, and a calendar of upcoming events [2]. In the version of the page retrieved for this profile, the calendar listed college representative visits, including both in-person and virtual sessions; athletic contests; marching band performances; performing arts rehearsals; club meetings such as table top gaming and chess; and Spirit Week activities including carnival games, relay races, and a fall pep rally [2]. The homepage also links to a daily news update, The Early Bird, described as being produced by student anchors who cover current events at the school [2].
These listings reflect scheduled activity at the time the page was retrieved. They are not a complete inventory of the school’s clubs, teams, or arts programs, and specific events change frequently. The homepage also presents the school’s mission statement [2].
School Data and How to Verify Current Information
No enrollment counts, student-teacher ratios, graduation rates, attendance rates, or assessment results for Staten Island Technical High School were available in the sources examined for this profile. Those figures are published by official agencies by school year, and they should be read from the original source with the reporting period attached rather than estimated or carried over from another year. Readers who need them can consult New York City Public Schools’ school listings and the New York State Education Department’s school directory and report card resources for the most recent school year.
For operational details such as admissions deadlines, open house dates, program offerings, support services, and contacts, the school’s own website is the primary source, and the admissions page is the specific place where the school posts its calendar and materials [1][2]. Because admissions rules and deadlines change annually, families should verify details for the cycle in which they are applying directly with the school and with New York City Public Schools.
