What is ASCTE?
About Us
At the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering (ASCTE), we empower academically driven students from across Alabama by providing an unparalleled education in cyber technology and engineering. We integrate these rapidly growing fields into every aspect of our academic disciplines, shaping the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.
Guided by our core values—Honor, Kindness, Tenacity, Integrity, and Joy—we cultivate a collaborative community where students thrive academically, socially, and ethically. ASCTE is a public, state-wide magnet high school offering tuition-free, commuter and residential options, ensuring access to transformative learning opportunities for students from every corner of Alabama.
Through hands-on learning experiences, mandatory internships, and a curriculum taught by certified teachers and subject matter experts, we prepare students for success in college and careers. Beyond the classroom, we work to support educators statewide in replicating cyber and engineering programs, fostering innovation far beyond our campus.
Unleashing potential. Expanding horizons. Building futures. That’s the purpose of ASCTE.
