Technology at Their Fingertips
Technology has the power to transform the way we live, work, and play, but like many things in life, it is constantly changing. To help our students achieve a school-life balance and stay up-to-date on the latest technology, we've gathered several learning tools and resources they can easily access, whether on campus, at home, or on the go.
Our Laptop Program
Laptops are a necessary learning tool that provides access to curriculum materials, essential resources, schedules, assignments, and student work. That’s why we've implemented a 1:1 Laptop Program that provides all our students with a Dell laptop and charger they can use in their classes and at home to do their assignments. With this opportunity comes the responsibility to keep their school-issued equipment in working order from the start of school as freshmen through the last day of senior year.Each day, your teen is expected to bring their fully charged laptop to school and use it in all their academic classes and vocational shop, unless advised not to do so, by their teacher. Those students in Advanced Manufacturing & Fabrication, Automotive Technology, Drafting & Design Technology, Electronics & Engineering, Engineering & Robotics, Multimedia Communications, and Painting & Design Technology will use the shop laptops/computers, which have specialized software that can handle those specific shop requirements.
