We all see them walking through the hallways on their way to rescue a teacher needing someone from the Tech Department to fix her computer. This year the “Techies” will have something to brag about other than just being a computer hero for most of the Willow Springs staff.

The Tech Department is now offering international certifications through CompTIA for computer technology. These certifications are among the most prestigious certifications in the computer industry. They are nationally and internationally recognized. The three certifications that the Tech Department is offering at this time are A+, Network+ and Security+ Certifications.

“Willows Springs is extremely excited about offering this opportunity to its students because they will be one of only a handful of schools that offer this training within the state at a K-12 educational institution,” explained Byron Stuart, school technology director.

This is a tremendous opportunity for the members of the Willow Springs Tech Program.
