Anywhere, Anytime Learning Tech Leader Program
The Tech Leader (TL) Program provides students with the opportunity to take a leadership role in assisting their peers with instructional technologies. These students are mentored and supervised by the Help Desk staff. Tech Leaders are empowered to provide technical solutions and repairs.
The Tech Leader Program is in place to inspire, grow, and educate high school students who have an interest or penchant to learn more about the inner workings of computers. And for them to gain experience and knowledge with skills and tools that will propel them through their post-secondary lives and beyond.
Tech Leaders will model good leadership qualities, promote the AUP, and demonstrate great attendance, discipline, and academic record. Students that complete the program each semester are rewarded with credit on their transcripts and recognition of volunteer achievement recorded through the Student Activities Department. The Tech Leader Program has been a wonderful reference point for our students that continue to excel in technology after high school.
Our mission to ensure the best possible experience for each student and teacher demonstrates the real world importance of excellent customer service and technology training. Tech Leaders learn patience and tact when working with people and troubleshoot technology calmly and effectively. The goal at the end of the program is that the Tech Leaders have developed a variety of leadership skills through their experiences that will better enable them to be successful in their lifelong endeavors.
