| One goal of the Madawaska School Department is to provide the tools needed for our students and staff to be among the best. The school department has over 500 computers performing a wide variety of functions. The school department has deployed laptop computers to each of it's 6th to 12th grade students at the Middle/High School. Each student will have wireless internet access from anywhere in the building. By putting these tools in the hands of their students, the school will be helping develop skills for the 21st century job market. |
