Students are getting MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) Certified. Currently, there are 30 students certified in Microsoft Word 2010 and 15 students certified in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010.

 

Earning a Microsoft Office Certification gives our students many benefits as they progress through obtaining a career or furthering their education after high school.  Below is a recent study that really hits home to the advantage of implementing the program in your school's classroom. Earning a Microsoft Office certification offers our students that validation to secure a great career after graduation.
