Business & Information Technology (BIT) Education prepares students for careers related to business, technology, finance, management, and much more. BIT educators develop and grow a comprehensive business program supported by former students, business employees and employers, fellow educators, parents, and those who recognize that business education can improve the quality of life for the individual and well-being of the community.
Business & Information Technology programs play an important role in providing students with the knowledge and skills to prepare for careers in any industry. The diversity of content in a BIT classroom includes courses focused on the functional areas of business including accounting, ethics, finance, management, marketing, and entrepreneurship, paired with the use of computers and technology tools to become critical thinkers and innovators.

3rd, 4th, and 5th grades students spend a half hour a week in elementary keyboarding. In this class, we focus on the QWERTY keyboard, proper 10 finger typing, and setting and working toward achieving individual goals. Students also get to explore learning content in digital citizenship. According to our state standards, students should be typing 5 words per minute per grade. Statistically about half of 5th graders leave with at least a 50% improvement in their words per minute.
