Information Technology at HIS

The start of the 2009-2010 saw the removal of the last of the vintage Rainbow iMac systems, a computer discontinued in July of 2001. This was made possible by the ongoing purchase of new computers.

The school and the dorm have full wireless connectivity.
HIS embraces the use of Open Source Software when possible to help reduce the overall cost of technology while still providing a highly productive environment for teachers and a rich experience for students.
