Technology in the Middle and Upper Schools

Students in Grades 6-12 use computers and related technologies in the Upper & Middle School computer lab, the science labs, the Guerrieri library, and their classrooms. Technology resources are also available in the art and music rooms. There are, in addition, two mobile labs available for classroom use. The computers used are multimedia capable and have a high speed connection to the Internet.

Required and elective courses featuring technology are available for Upper School students. Middle School students take required courses in technology. The Middle and Upper School computer teacher teaches these courses and works with Middle and Upper School teachers to help them integrate technology into their studies.

Social studies, English, and science classes often make extensive use of the computer lab, library connections, and mobile. Some social studies classes are scheduled in the computer lab so that classes may make use of the technologies.

Technology equipment available to the students includes: computers, printers, scanners, digital cameras, digital video cameras, VCRs, video cameras, television, chat cameras, LCD projection, etc.

Worcester's Upper School computer teacher was honored as the Maryland Technology Teacher of the Year in 1996.
