Technology Help Desk

Saint Mary's School offers a fully wireless campus that allows students to utilize technology for learning in and out of the classroom. Each student receives a Lenovo convertible laptop tablet for use during their time at Saint Mary's School. These tablets serve as a key tool in their learning and communication.
