SVMS has purchased 30 new Hewlett-Packard Dual Core workstations along with flat screen monitors to update the PC Lab technology. These machines will be running the latest in educational software, as well as the Microsoft Office application suite which is the industry standard in the majority of offices, schools and homes throughout the world. Its no wonder our state-of the-art computer lab is the envy of the area schools!

We continue to invest in upgrades to the schools technology infrastructure in order to remain competitive and keep our ever-growing network safe and secure. A brand new Internet content filter will be installed in time to service students for the coming year. A new HP server is also on the way to store student and staff documents and programs. We also purchased a laptop to manage the upgraded sound system in the Gym. 

With the purchase of 2 additional SMART Boards by the Home and School association, grades 1-6 now enjoy the benefits of interactive learning. This continues to assure that the students at SVMS are on the forefront of technology as it relates to incorporating the classroom learning experience with a critical understanding of information systems and software.

A dedicated high-speed fiber-optic line connects every computer in the school to the vast resources of the World Wide Web! Of course all student-accessible machines are continually monitored and content-filtered while students are logged on.

There are few jobs in today's world that do not involve some type of interaction with computers. St. Vincent's investment in this crucial area will provide students with an understanding of the same hardware and software they will be using long afterward in future educational and employment endeavors.
