We believe the basic goal of our school has not changed, that is “to achieve a successful transition of the adolescent in the academic, physical, social and emotional realms within a diverse community of learning and caring.” However, our school has the responsibility for developing curriculum and applying instructional methods enriched with technology. All administrators and teachers will use technology to effectively help students attain high standards and prepare for tomorrow's world of work. With technology, students will be encouraged to collaborate, engage in inquiry, and explore effectively, far beyond the bounds of H. B. du Pont Middle School. Chad Carmack

Laptop computers with wireless internet service will be available throughout the school. Smart Boards and projectors will be installed in every classroom. Classroom activities will shift from teacher-led to teacher-facilitated, with the emphasis on technology enabled student-driven research, critical thinking and problem-solving, with communication and collaboration both internal and external, and paperless production.
