The High School for Enterprise, Business, and Technology is a public high school located on the fourth floor of the Grand Street Educational Campus at 850 Grand Street and Bushwick Avenue in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.
In the spring of 2000, a year after graduating its first senior class, the school was first in the campus to pass off the list.
Mendez was the deputy chair of the foreign language, technology coordinator, and ASPIRA founder at Stuyvesant High School before opening EBT with the help of Yvette Wharton and Hipolito Fernandez; the latter two currently function as assistant principals at EBT.
[1] Business and Finance is a program with a curriculum based on preparation for careers with the joint effort of corporate partnerships.
EBT is one of only twelve high schools in New York City that offer this full sequence.
In addition to a rigorous curriculum, the student body is encouraged to participate in several clubs such as Drama, DECCA, Future Business Leaders of America and Model United Nations.
Many of these facilities offer other services such as business ventures for the school, storage, or converted classrooms.
Students have the option of taking the B43, B53, B57, Q54, Q59 bus or the L train to school; many of the attending all use the routes and a few percent are within walking distance.
