All eighth grade students are exposed to current technology through a program which consists of one semester of science and one semester of technology. In the technology course, students are able to engage in a variety of hands-on learning activities. Standardized test scores, student grades and classroom performance are analyzed to determine which students would benefit from the remediation program at Meigs. With parent consent, these students receive remediation assistance two days per week during their PE time.
