Digital Conversion Pathways to Excellence
As we are beginning this 2nd semester, I thought I would use this newsletter to share information the Digital Conversion committee developed to be used to guide and direct the Digital Conversion initiative.
Mission: Empowering all students to succeed in a changing society.
Vision: Advancing excellence in everything we do!

About the Project
Mission: Empowering all students to succeed in a
changing society.
Vision: Advancing excellence in everything we do!
Digital Conversion, simply put, is about learning and not about technology. The project will provide student mobile devices, digital content (curriculum, including textbooks), professional development, network infrastructure, and a Learning Management System. This project will provide our students with the experience, skills, confidence, and adaptability they will need to succeed in college and in the workforce.
