I deeply enjoyed my 4 years at Essex County Newark Tech. Despite being rep more for a year and a half due to Covid, Newark Tech helped us students embrace the change and provided us with numerous resources to make the transition smoother. Newark tech is a great environment for kids to grow, learn and thrive throughout their high school career and I can confidently say that Essex County Newark Tech is truly one of the best high schools there is.
