Mission statement: T3-Teaching Together with Technology
Philosophy: Every day we depend on technology for any number of purposes:
communication, social media, news, gaming, and streaming. Moreover, learning
should include access to technology. Incorporating technology in education will
increase students understanding of expectations from the real world. Our mission
as educators at Paulding County High School is: Together Helping Educate Every
Student Every Day in Every Way to Ensure College and Career Readiness. One way
to ensure college and career readiness is the exposure of technology. The School
District has adopted a BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology) policy. The District has
put substantial funding into improving the technology infrastructure at every school
so that the capability exists for teachers and students to connect into the wifi
system without concern. Only by using the technology on a regular basis will
students be prepared not only for success within the classroom, but also for when
they graduate and move on to the next step in their life.
