NEW YORK—The national head of education will visit New York Harbor School on Friday to understand how one of the city’s most unique career and technical education public schools operates.

Friday’s tour will also include Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott and United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew.
