Hands-on activities, fast-paced lessons, learning games and exploring beyond the textbook are just a few reasons students and instructors alike at St. Joseph Cathedral School are excited to see technology multiplying in their school.

"Five years ago, we had a hodge-podge of donated PCs that may or may not have been on a network," said Dale Highfill, a member of the school's technology committee. "We uprooted every computer we had here at school and replaced it."

This "technology makeover" came from vigorous fundraising, volunteer hours, grant-writing and attention to needs led by the school's technology committee.
