For the next three years, Heights will have unlimited access to the Internet, according to media specialist Steve Titchenal. This means that students have full e-mail privileges and can go anywhere on the World Wide Web.
Teachers can obtain free programs from the Internet for use in the classroom.
Currently, the school is trying to give out more e-mail accounts and make student access easier. The history of the Internet at Heights began in 1993 when, with the help of Ameritech, the school was hooked up to the Learning Village. This primarily offered students e-mail access and encyclopedia information. The Learning Village was replaced after two years by a grant from NASA, which provides Heights current access to the Internet. The Internet became available to students in March 1995.
