Providing the latest technology

The Boone Foundation has been instrumental in helping bring our facility and our instruction into the digital age.  Recently, Foundation money has been used to provide needed technology:  additional computer labs, student response systems, and document cameras.  This year, the Foundation’s gift of $15,000 will be used to support our plans to provide the latest instructional technology to our students and teachers including iMac computers for our piano keyboard lab and digital photography lab, digital video equipment for our Brave TV Studio,  and iPads for student use.
