The Springfield High School of Science and Technology, known as Sci-Tech, is one of Springfield’s magnet schools and home to the Cybercats. It welcomed its first group of students in 1996. Sci-Tech students begin their studies in STEM Academy, a hands-on, project-based approach where science, technology, engineering and math are integrated into the entire curriculum.
During 11th and 12th grade, students can prepare for careers in Healthcare Sciences, Information Technology, Film and Media, Engineering or Finance, or enroll in AfterDark, a joint program with nearby Putnam Vocational Technical High School. Students in AfterDark focus on STEM academics at Sci-Tech in the morning and attend Putnam in the afternoon to apply their new skills to a trade of their choice. Sci-Tech also offers several advanced placement courses for students preparing for college.
Sci-Tech’s music program, which includes choir and band, is renowned throughout the region. Known as the Pride of Springfield, the band performs at both school and community events around Springfield each year. The school has sent more students to the University of Massachusetts Honor Band Festival than any school that has participated. Some students come to Sci-Tech specifically for the program, and alums often return to play with the band during special events. What began with 20 students in 2007 now has over 500 members. The athletics program at Sci-Tech is also popular, and students can compete in basketball, football, wrestling, field hockey, ice hockey, soccer, volleyball, and cheerleading.

This high school often times gets a bad rep. However while I was there I felt at home and very comfortable with the other students. The staff pushed me to better myself everyday and allowed me to be myself.

This school has helped change my personal ego, and engaged me to participate in several fun activities including art, music, and reading. Also the staff people are all very nice and are either fun to talk to or extremely helpful. I probably wouldn't be the person I am today if I didn't attend that school. I always enjoy going there school day of the week.

I feel the school was left open for a lot a changes. I fought hard for school uniforms but was told it was impossible (it's now a standard in the Springfield Schools, yay!).
