"The youth of our nation is eminently well served by the generosity of the Lowell Milken Family Foundation. As a successful leader in the challenge to educate those from every facet of society, he is unparalleled."
—Roberta Weintraub
Founder and Executive Director, High Tech Los Angeles

Officially dedicated in 2004, High Tech Los Angeles is a partnership among the Los Angeles Unified School District, corporations and foundations. This innovative public charter school engages students with a rigorous curriculum rich in technology complemented by real-world internships. HTLA's diverse student population, which draws from over 30 ZIP codes and includes nearly half the students on free and reduced lunch, achieved California Distinguished School status in record time. In 2010 US News & World Report honored High Tech Los Angeles as a silver medalist and one of the nation’s best high schools. The school’s initial lead grant was a commitment from the Lowell Milken Family Foundation, and LMFF continues its involvement in HTLA’s development.
