Central Catholic High School's

iPad Program

The only complete 1:1 iPad Program in the tri-parish area, running 10+ years strong!

The integration of iPads into our classrooms is an initiative at Central Catholic to provide tools and resources to the 21st century learner, our students.

The individual use of iPads is a way to empower students to maximize their full potential and to prepare them for college and the workplace. This program also brings to the forefront the opportunity to teach young people their moral role and responsibility in the proper use of technology and to enable them to apply ethical filters to the endless stream of data from the global environment.

The goal of Central Catholic High School through iPad implementation is to:

  • Prepare students to succeed in today’s ever changing technological world

  • Foster critical thinking and problem solving

  • Encourage the ethical use of technology and devices

  • Shift the classroom environment from teacher-centered to student-centered

  • Provide a safe learning environment utilizing technology
