The Computer Recycling program was launched in 1997-98 in five pilot school systems. Fifty-one additional high schools joined CPR in its second year. For the 2000-2001 school year, CPR will be active in 112 high schools and three juvenile training schools in North Carolina. As our program has grown we have gained state and national recognition. ExplorNet has been named a Smithsonian Laureate for our Computer Recycling program.
