Taking Pride in Excellence!

Computer Science

In this pun on computer science, the major that actually gives people skills to be software engineers and make a stable living, we see a computer with goggles surrounded by test tubes, graduated cylinders, and petri dishes, "doing" science.

Our Computer Science class will introduce students to the exciting world of technology by exploring the foundations of computing. Students will learn about the history of computers and programming, gain an understanding of hardware and software, and discover how the internet works, including hosting and connecting. Each unit will include hands‑on projects that allow students to apply what they’ve learned in creative and practical ways. By the end of the trimester, students will have built a strong foundation in computer science and developed confidence in their ability to understand and use technology in meaningful ways.
