Technology Mission Statement

St. Columban School is dedicated to the teaching mission of the Catholic Church. As a school, we recognize that we live in a new media age and are immersed in a culture of evolving language and opportunities. The new technologies present possibilities and challenges, which must be explored and used in order to enhance and enrich the school's programs and support student learning.

Vision: Students will utilize technology as they work toward achieving student learning outcomes. Teachers will utilize technology as they work to improve student learning and develop their own professional knowledge and skills. With the use of technology, the students, teachers and staff will broaden, enhance, and accelerate their learning. Technology will diversify the pathways by which students can pursue their educational outcomes and allow students to work at different levels, as appropriate to their abilities. Technology is playing a significant role in helping students work toward their high school, college and professional careers.
