Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD) joined the growing ranks of schools using Google Apps for Education with our staff and students. The decision was made to address the growing need for more advanced tools in the classroom and to provide students with an accessible productivity and communication suite that would serve them throughout their high school career and beyond.
Since Google Apps' introduction teachers have been using the various applications provided to improve communication with their students as well as encourage cooperation and collaboration in the classroom. In the office it’s allowed our support staff to operate more efficiently ultimately saving money that goes right back into the classroom.
More recently HBUHSD has decided to leverage the power of the Google Apps platform by investing in Chromebooks for the classroom to ensure that every student has the equipment necessary to take advantage of these tools. The ease of deployment and maintenance of these Chromebooks and power of Google Apps further allows our technical staff to continue to provide the highest quality service where it’s most beneficial to our students.
HBUHSD remains dedicated to providing the highest quality tools offered by modern technology that hold the greatest value to the future success of our students.
