To a greater or lesser degree, all members of society are dependent upon the world of business and technology. Because of this reality, the Computer Technology Department at Bishop Kelly High School is committed to the belief that a knowledge and skill in technology is vital to success in college or in real-world employment.

Our students are living in a world that is changing at a dramatic pace—a world that grows smaller with each passing day due to the advances of technology. To be without a command of these skills is to be at a disadvantage in today’s—as well as tomorrow’s—world. It is essential for all students to have the opportunity to explore, understand and acquire the skills that will impact their lives.

In a manner consistent with the philosophy of Bishop Kelly High School, the Computer Technology Department will strive to integrate into its course offerings the qualities of honesty, integrity, and loyalty as basic to proper understanding of business ethics.

Students will be provided with opportunities to learn the languages and skills of business and technology and will be given challenges in problem solving to assist in the development of their moral character. Cooperation, understanding, and mutual respect will be stressed as they learn to work with others on projects and to prepare themselves for places in an interdependent and internationalized world.
