Technology instruction is incorporated throughout the curriculum.

Computer classes are provided to introduce and reinforce mastery of keyboarding, computer generated presentation and graphing programs. Each classroom has an instructor PC used for email and an online grading system. The computer lab has 32 Intel DualCore Processor workstations, a Promethean Activeboard, printers and scanners. In addition, 32 laptops computers are stored in a mobile cart with wireless technology so that any classroom may become a computer lab and technology can be integrated as part of any lesson. In 2010, Promethean Activeboards have been installed in every classroom throughout the school to enable teachers to incorporate technology into the curriculum in a very new and exciting way. Internet access is made available through our structured cable system and our wireless network. Shared drives between the computer lab and the classrooms allow students to develop and present multimedia presentations for assignments and projects. The network is secured through firewall, virus scans and Internet content filtering.

Technology Standards

The technology standards for students are divided into six broad categories. These categories are aligned with state and national standards. Teachers use these standards as guidelines for planning technology-based activities in which students achieve success in learning, communication, and life skills.
