About Us
Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School greatly values and integrates technology into all aspects of our curriculum and programming. To accomplish this integration, each Essex Tech student has their own piece of technology. We are currently in the process of phasing out iPads and phasing in Google Chromebooks. The Class of 2023 will be the first student group to use Google Chromebooks as their 1-to-1 device. This decision to transition our students to Chromebooks from iPads has been made through a considerable amount of research, and we strongly believe that the use of Chromebooks in our classrooms and CTE areas will further enhance learning for students in all settings.
The Technology Department consists of a team of six staff members and multiple student interns. This team is responsible for training, supporting, maintaining, and implementing all educational technology applications and devices. Our office is open from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm on Monday-Friday to ensure that students and staff have full access to the resources, training, and support they need. Our goal is to provide seamless integration of technology into the learning process for all students.
