Ashland High School is fortunate to offer a diverse array of computer science and technology classes. For more than a decade, we have been offering an ever evolving selection of computer science and makerspace courses. Most importantly, we have worked to ensure that EVERY student who comes through the doors of AHS can feel welcomed and at ease entering into our courses. From our introductory courses, to our more advanced study opportunities, we want every student, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, educational needs, or age, to feel welcome and capable of success.
Using popular computer science curriculum such as Computer Science Discoveries and AP® CS Principles from Code.org as well as curriculum developed by our teachers, we are ensuring students are the focus of the classroom and that their minds and hands are the key elements used to bring the world of computer science to life. Through authentic and creative choices as well as exploratory learning opportunities, students in every CS class at AHS are engaged and challenged to put their best foot forward.
At the heart of every computer science class and lesson, are the skills that build successful students and lifelong learners.
