The Division has three modern well-equipped, attractively
furnished classrooms. One is an electronic classroom with 18
networked computers for students and one teacher workstation. Other
equipment includes a projection system for computers, video, and
document cameras. Our second and third classrooms have teacher
workstations and computer projection systems. The third room is a

The Division also has a wireless computer network with 12 laptop
computers. This network reaches all of our classrooms, allowing
computer-related instruction for a single class of 30 or multiple
smaller classes.
