Hartford Union High School (HUHS) announced this week that it has once again been recognized as a 2025–2026 Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Distinguished School. HUHS is among a select group of high schools across the United States to receive this honor for its ongoing commitment to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in career-connected learning.
Through its PLTW course offerings—Principles of Biomedical Science, Medical Interventions, Human Body Systems, and Biomedical Innovations—HUHS continues to provide students with opportunities to explore real-world challenges while developing critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. These experiences help students build transferable skills necessary to succeed in an ever-evolving global workforce.
To be eligible for the Distinguished School designation, HUHS met rigorous criteria during the 2024–2025 school year. This included expanding access to PLTW coursework, maintaining strong student enrollment in PLTW programs, and encouraging students to take multiple courses within the pathway.
“We are incredibly proud of our students, staff, and community for earning this recognition once again,” said Superintendent Dr. Gahan. “This honor reflects our shared commitment to providing meaningful, future-focused learning experiences that prepare students not only for college and careers, but for lifelong success. Our PLTW programs continue to inspire curiosity, innovation, and a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom.”
As HUHS celebrates this continued recognition, the school looks forward to building on its success and expanding opportunities for students to explore, innovate, and lead in their chosen pathways.
