Technology Department

  • Technology programs are activity-based and project-driven. Students learn and practice new skills through hands-on activities with real-world applications. We encourage problem-solving, teaching students to approach challenges with a constructive attitude. Technology courses draw from skills in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), helping students develop holistic problem-solving skills that build off their interests and strengths. With a focus on current technology and industry standards, we ensure students finish their courses with skills applicable to the professional world.
