Hicksville Public Schools Technology
Department offers students opportunities to connect with past,
present and future technologies in learning technical content,
problem solving and design solutions.
Students gain hands on experience in
state-of-the-art Modular Technology labs at the Middle School.
At the High School, students gain experience in the Video
Production lab and Technology Labs exploring opportunities in
design and drawing for production, Computer Assisted Design and
Drawing, engineering, maintenance and construction of
residential and commercial structures. Students translate
learned skills into producing woodworking projects for gifts and
community service giving at both the Middle School and High
School level.
The Middle School Technology Department has
completed a significant initiative in Technology updating the
modular technology labs linking technology to Math, Physical
Science, Environmental Science, Geography, Biomedical Science
and Communications. Through the use of a networked management
system students work in pairs at workstations exploring
technology topics developing essential skills, gaining
technological literacy, participating in career aptitude
assessments, developing critical thinking skills and taking
responsibility for their own learning.
In the Video Production Lab students have the
opportunity to explore production of a television news program,
special effects, video graphic systems, television commercials
and music videos. Students recognize the challenge and influence
of video production classes related to film and television
production and translate learned skills into career choices.
Students are proud of their work and
appreciate state of the art equipment. The technology program
provides students with the skills and hands on opportunities to
complete projects meeting the demands of an ever changing world.
