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.
