About the DC :::
The Discovery Centers
at each campus consist of two computer rooms and independent work areas. Microsoft Office
Applications (including Word, Excel, Access, and Powerpoint) are networked throughout each
Center. Microsoft Publisher is also included on the network. In addition, the Discovery
Centers offer a wide variety of other programs designed to help students in all areas of the
curriculum. Access to the Internet is also provided throughout the Discovery Centers for
student and faculty use.
Teachers from every discipline can schedule lessons in one of the classrooms, and Discovery Center staff members are available as consultants to help faculty develop methods for integrating technology into their lesson plans. Students also benefit from the Discovery Center Peer Tutoring program which enables them to get help from honors students in most areas of the curriculum. Peer Tutoring is available at the South Campus Discovery Center before and after school, as well as during certain periods of the school day. Students and parents can also get help with Edline by contacting Discovery Center Staff.
Both Discovery Centers are open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. Both centers offer evening hours: the North Campus Discovery Center is open Tuesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and the South Campus Discovery Center is open Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Students may use either facility, and community members are invited to use the Discovery Centers during evening hours. Students are encouraged to use the Discovery Centers independently before or after school, during study hall, or during their lunch periods. Community service is provided through Holiday Write Night.
