Top Notch Tech At High School

RANDOLPH, Utah.  August 16 2017.  Deloris White and Casey Johnson have received grants to put significant money into the school. Rich County is at the top of technology in the state.  There are four rooms dedicated to tech and White and Johnson have for the last decade been working on it.   This year all four rooms were upgraded with 80 inch televisions which can be controlled from office with a touch remote.   Utah Education Network (UEN) gave the school $12,000 a room.  They also updated the SYCO system. 

“A lot of the power outages affect the equipment,” said Johnson. “ But it is so much better than before.  The bandwidth is greater which makes the download seamless.  So distance learning is much easier with the sharp clear TV rather than the old projectors.   We have a 40 minute generator. It can also power Laketown.  We had two long outages which have blown some of the other equipment and the generator helps protect the equipment.”

Distance meetings can be held in the facility  and it can also be a broadcast site too so the professors can visit and broadcast from Rich County.  Thirteen people graduated with associate degrees last year with the classes in this facility.
