The Highland Park High School Science and Technology Festival is an annual event where numerous speakers representing careers in science, technology, engineering, and math visit the high school campus. These accomplished leaders discuss their careers, educational paths and work experience with students. All high school science students have the opportunity to engage in conversation and gain a deeper understanding of these vital and in-demand careers. Sponsored by the Science Faculty at Highland Park High School and organized by parent volunteers, the mission of the Science and Technology Festival is to encourage and inspire students to pursue careers in medicine, research, technology, engineering, and science.

Marie Naklie McCoy organized the first HPHS Science Festival in 2006. A chemical engineer, an expert in liquefied natural gas, and a parent volunteer, her creative vision inspired the faculty, students, and speakers. Nearly 75 parent volunteers host the Science Festival each year. The 18th annual Science and Technology Festival has been scheduled for Monday, November 13, 2023. Outstanding professionals from the Dallas community and beyond will participate in the festival.

Highland Park High School is located at 4220 Emerson Street, Dallas, TX 75205.
