 The mission of the Technology Department is to provide teachers and students with electronic tools that will enrich their educational experience. This is achieved by providing information access through a reliable network infrastructure, by enhancing communication through voice and data services, and by fostering a collaborative learning environment through the use and availability of computer technology.
Westminster School provides information and voice technology resources to faculty, staff, and students for academic and administrative use. The campus network extends data and telephone service to every classroom, dormitory room, and office on campus via a high speed fiber backbone. Wireless network access is also available campus wide.
