Technology Education
Technology is often defined as the application of human knowledge for practical purposes and typically solves problems or makes life better in some manner. CSHS Technology education offers courses to help you communicate technological ideas through graphical, photographic, and 3d media. Also, we offer courses focusing on tools, materials, and technology in a hands-on learning laboratory (shop) and a comprehensive computer lab. Our goal is to help you understand technology, communicate issues related to technology, and build skills related to using current and emerging technologies, and develop career readiness skills to help you more successful in future career and educational pursuits.
