After School St. Mary Parish's four high school libraries are remaining open for 2 hours on 3 days each week to allow students access to computers and the Internet. A Technology Literacy Challenge Fund Grant received by the St. Mary Parish School Board for the 1998-99 school year is being used to keep the libraries open and staffed with trained personnel to assist students with the use of the technology.
Students can do research papers and presentations using the computers and other library resources.
The computers are connected to the Internet making unlimited resources available to the student. Parents are encouraged to visit the school libraries to see how technology is being used.
