The Polytechnic High School offers various subjects and college opportunities to ensure that each and every student receives the support and help they need.

As of 2020, the current director of secondary learning, a figure similar to a principal, is Stephen Rothkopf, with Amanda Wojtalik serving as the dean of students.

[8] In 2018, many improvements were made to the Polytechnic High School's campus, including a brand new two-story building with wet labs, administration spaces, ten new classrooms, and a "makerspace" with a variety of tools and resources for students to complete engineering-related projects.

For many Cambridge classes, students will take assessments at the end of the year that may give them the opportunity to earn college credit.

[13] These presidents are elected by the students of ASU Preparatory Polytechnic High School at the beginning of each year.

This election was notable for the unprecedented campaign of candidate Cooper Houseman, who beat former Student Council vice president Diego Conrado in a narrow vote on November 13, 2020, despite having no former experience in Student Council or leadership positions in any other clubs at ASU Prep Polytechnic.

The Houseman 2020 campaign was one which featured many aggressive campaign tactics that had not previously been used in Student Council elections at ASU Preparatory Academy Polytechnic High School, such as the extremely frequent usage of social media, the creation of t-shirts and yard signs, rallies, and polls.

On November 13, 2020, Houseman beat Conrado, Delgado, and 4 other candidates for the position of president of Student Council after receiving a plurality of 35.6% of the votes.

Polytechnic High School's Key Club chapter hosts events at which members can give back to their community.
