History
The school lies on the site of the East New York Vocational High School. The school was built on the former site of pumping stations for the Ridgewood Reservoir. It was constructed coincidental with the construction of Conduit Boulevard.
The school was originally named East New York Continuation High School in 1915, but was renamed to East New York Workers High School of Brooklyn in 1922. In 1941, it was renamed to East New York Vocational High School. Finally, in 1986 it was renamed to Transit Tech High School. In October 2022, the first football team for the school was created, over its 100+ years.
In the late 1980s, it converted to its present mission. Its first graduating class was in 1990.
