Technology
Independence High School is well-equiped to offer students a technology-enhanced learning environment, and teachers have taken advantage of this by incorporating technology into their teaching methods.
We have Epson interactive projector/whiteboards in all classrooms as well as Microsoft "Surface tablets". This is to further student involvement and teacher evaluation in the learning process. We also have a Media Center with a variety of both traditional and the latest learning aids . These resources can be used daily. Our Media Center is the hub for research. Our Media Para-Professional, Mr. Charles Bethell, provides students with expert guidance on how to use various online databases as well as in-house resources to complete their projects.
Our Career Technology Department offers very popular topics and courses. Moreover, the Language Arts Department utilizes technology to ignite an interest in reading by students.
