Napa New Technology
High School

The New Technology High School in Napa was developed to meet the needs of students entering either a university or a high-tech career. Corporate partners such as Landmark Consulting Group, Lotus, Silicon Graphics, and Hewlett-Packard contributed to the strategic planning and infrastructure of the school. Students are given email addresses and participate in the school's extensive networked environment. This online activity gives students and teachers more time for meaningful, face-to-face communication.

Students thrive in a businesslike culture in the school. Technology is integrated into cross-curricular activities. There is an emphasis on multimedia as situated within communication history and theory. The school uses web-based portfolios as an effective form of assessment.
