Tech On Campus

Students also engage in the Accelerated Reader program. This technology-based program allows students to read books that are appropriate to their individual levels, take quizzes on computers or iPads, and track their own performance in reading comprehension respectively. A wide selection of books are available to our students in our school library which contains over 6,000 titles.

Across all grade levels, classrooms include teacher laptops, document cameras, smart boards, iPad carts, trackpads, and Apple TVs. These tools enhance blended learning and dynamic instruction, giving teachers and students more ways to engage.

Every junior high student has their own iPad, enabling independence, collaboration, and advanced learning opportunities like research, video editing, website building, and multimedia presentations.
