To teach students for and about business. The Business
Technology Program is dedicated to the task of
providing all students with technical and leadership
skills needed in a global economy.
Vision Statement
We believe that all students can learn under given
conditions. These conditions include all the resources
available for teaching and learning. We believe that
students will actively participate in the learning
process and teachers will apply learning standards
using appropriate teaching standards and the latest
technology to enhance student achievement. We
believe that parents should be kept informed of
learning expectations to include knowledge of state
competency profiles and activities of the vocational
student organizations. We believe that the postsecondary
institutions and the business community
will embrace the industry certification of Business
Technology students. We believe that the Business
Technology program offers a well-rounded cluster of
learning opportunities.
