About Me
Brett W. Peterson is the Director of High Tech High International, a nationally recognized, progressive, project based charter school in San Diego, California. He served as Director of The Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High for nine years after teaching at the school for five years and continues to serve as a network ambassador and consultant, training teachers, administrators, and superintendents in implementing project based learning in several states, Israel, and the U.K.
In addition, Peterson serves as a Trustee of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network’s National Board where he advises the organization about grass roots impacts of policies, marketing and strategic vision. Recently, he served on the U.S. Department of Education’s Western Regional Advisory Committee.
His belief that teaching and learning go hand in hand guided him as he earned a Master’s in History from the University of San Diego and a Master’s in Curriculum Design from UCSD. Before coming to San Diego he earned a BA in History from the University of Notre Dame (Go, Irish!).
When not updating his bio, he enjoys spending time with family and friends and traveling this small world of ours.
