Defined Technology Proficiencies

An important goal for both Morse High School and the SEPA Program is for students to acquire or be exposed to skills in the use and application of modern technologies. Consequently, the SEPA program has defined learning goals for SEPA students. Exposure and eventual expectations for proficiencies in these skills will be phased in over the three year time students are in this program.
