Business and technology are a part of the
life of every individual; in fact, business and technology is a part of
life itself. Intelligent citizenship in the world today and that of
tomorrow demands business and technology knowledge and understanding.
Consumer problems of today are complex and the need for every citizen to
understand and meet them effectively has increased greatly. Therefore,
business and technology education is an essential part of the general
education of everyone.
The Business and Instructional Technology
Department feels that the student while in high school can develop a
substantial business and technology background for advanced training in
the future. In addition, the acquisition of these marketable skills will
provide the student the opportunity to enter the work force following high
school. This philosophy is the guideline by which courses and curricula
are offered and taught at East Longmeadow High School.
