"Empowering our students to successfully transform our community" is our district's purpose.  My goal, as Director of Technology, is to provide the necessary training and equipment needed for our district to continue the 1:1 program at it's greatest potential.  In doing so, we will help fulfill our district's purpose. 

Our tech department is proud to be able to provide technology tools to enhance our students learning experience. In addition to maintaining our 1:1 program with Apple products, our tech department also supports Windows operating devices necessary for several course curriculums.  We support our teachers and students in the daily use Google Apps for education, Canvas, our learning management system, and many more instructional tools to engage our students in the classroom.  

I take personal pride in making myself available to all students, staff and community members.  Please do not hesitate to contact me, so that I may address and questions or concerns you have related to our department.
