Harbor Springs Public Schools launched an ongoing Strategic Technology Planning process in 1991. The process committed HSPS to building a technology infrastructure that would best support learning and teaching. This infrastructure focuses on using both quality hardware and software. It also requires continuous attention to research, upgrades, staff development and support. The HSPS staff, administration, community members and parents have worked hard to ensure that all students will have access to the most current technology equipment, instruction and resources.
The Harbor Springs School District is working toward achieving high results for all students. Desired results include:
