Curriculum




Computer and Technology Education

The district program offers students hands-on experience with computers beginning in kindergarten and extending through high school. Every attempt is made to keep up with this ever-changing and exciting field. New equipment and software at all levels of instruction are added regularly to prepare students for the world in which we live. In intermediate grades, students are introduced to word processing and Power Point programs for writing stories and compositions, and for public presentations of research. In addition, the computer is used in learning exercises and in the reinforcement of math, language, and vocabulary skills. In the middle school grades, students further advance skills in word processing and Power Point while learning spread sheet applications and web design.

At the high school, advanced applications, programming and analysis skills are emphasized. Fully equipped computer laboratories and enrichment centers are available for student use. A digital photography program and video production center add new dimensions to advanced computer instruction. The Technology Education Department offers sequences in Residential Structures, Engineering, and Communications.
