Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is a public, magnet-style high school located in Alexandria, Virginia. Founded in 1985, it emerged from a partnership among local businesses, Fairfax County Public Schools, and industry representatives to advance education in science, mathematics, and technology. It is designated as the Governor’s School for Science and Technology in Northern Virginia and receives support from the Virginia Department of Education; the program operates as a four-year, full-day experience for students. The school serves students from Fairfax County and nearby communities in Arlington, Loudoun, Prince William counties, and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church. A separate TJ Partnership Fund, formed by local business leaders and Jefferson parents, raises funds to maintain and equip the school’s labs and classrooms.

In industry terms, the organization sits within fundraising supporting school facilities and resources through its affiliated fund. The TJ Partnership Fund’s website is operated by its staff and reflects the school’s ongoing collaboration with the fundraising community. A notable recent development occurred in October 2024, when the school's principal announced resignation, marking a leadership change for TJHSST.
