Career

During and after law school at Boston University, Rosenstock taught carpentry and woodworking classes to urban youth for a total of eleven years. [3] He also worked as staff attorney for two years at the Harvard Center for Law and Education, and was a lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for five years. He was a principal of the Rindge School of Technical Arts, and of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School.

Rosenstock was the director from 1996 to 1997 of the New Urban High School Project, an effort funded by the U.S. Department of Education to find and describe new models for urban high schools.

These design principles are personalization, real-world connection, and common intellectual mission.

He moved to San Diego to become the president of the Price Charitable Fund from 1997 to 1999.

In 2000, Rosenstock became the C.E.O. and founding principal of High Tech High, first one school and now part of the High Tech High umbrella organization that currently runs sixteen schools in California.
