The students have the capability to access frequently used Windows applications such as Google Docs, Imagine Learning, ST Math and other applications commonly used at the elementary school level.
We have also installed over 100 data access ports at the Ron Hockwalt Academies( RHA) site. These ports provide internet connectivity to the Independent Study Program, Hockwalt Adult Resource Transition and Training Center( HARTT), Walnut Valley Adult Education, and the RHA Continuation High School.
In support of Common Core, the recent surge in mobile technology devices and carts required us to identify and install additional electrical charging outlets / stations throughout the district. In addition, many of these mobile technology carts required the installation of a specified security-locking device.
Construction of the mathematics building was completed at Diamond Bar High School( DBHS). This new building is comprised of 20 dedicated math classrooms, which incorporate the latest document cameras, teaching sound system, adjoining collaboration doors and innovative teaching walls, and teaching stations.

Engineering projects, designed by our students utilizing a computer program, can now be transferred into a full 3-dimensional plastic prototype. A new portable classroom was added in support of the Academic Design Program( ADP). The classroom was also outfitted with mobile technology as well as a collaborative walkthrough physically joining it to the existing four ADP rooms.
