INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM LEARNING The district has long recognized the importance of integrating technology into the classroom.“We have been a one-to-one district since 2012,” Dr. White says. “Our students use iPads, which provide flexibility and enhance collaborative learning. These devices enable students to access many online resources, participate in interactive lessons, and engage with digital tools that make learning more dynamic. Teachers can tailor instruction to individual student needs, using technology to support differentiated learning and accommodate various learning styles.” The investment in technology extends beyond devices. “Our high school features collaborative learning spaces where students can use their technology to engage in hands-on projects,” Dr. White says. “These spaces are designed to encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and real-world applications of technology. Students work on group projects using interactive whiteboards, 3D modeling software, and cloud-based collaboration tools, preparing them for the technological demands of higher education and the workforce. We believe that when used effectively, technology is a powerful tool for deeper learning, fostering innovation and creativity in our students.” INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS The district has made significant investments in infrastructure to enhance student learning. “We have renovated all of our elementary classrooms, modernized our high school, and added new fine arts and athletic facilities,” Dr. White says. “Our goal is to ensure students have access to the best learning environments possible, fostering academic and extracurricular development.
