Technology Department


Vision Statement:

The vision of the Technology Department is to provide each student with educational opportunities that will ensure that all students have the skills necessary to compete for the jobs they seek, the careers they pursue and the opportunities in technology to meet the needs of all areas of the school’s curriculum. This is critical to the needs of students to ensure that our system has the capability to prepare our children for the changes and challenges of the future.


Mission Statement:

Our mission is to take our district to the next level in providing an exemplary education for all students by aggressively pursuing state-of-the-art technology and the integration of technology into their complete educational experience. It is imperative that students achieve their highest potential and that they are equipped for life’s challenges in this century and the ability to adapt to changes that will occur in their lives. These changes are evident when one considers that the work force of the future will use technology that does not yet exist. Through up-to-date technology education, we can equip students with the skills necessary to manage their personal lives as well as the ability to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for various careers of the future. The future holds no limits for those who have a strong foundation in technology. An important goal of the Technology Department is to promote an educational partnership between parents, students, staff and the community through ongoing communication and active involvement.
