We donated 30 Laptops for San Pedro High School

We purchaed and donated thirty new Lenovo laptops to the San Pedro High School on March 22nd. As the school’s previous computers were not fully functional, and students often experienced technical difficulties, we dedicated January and February 2017 to this effort.

SPHS Teacher Paul Kelly said that the new laptops will definitely benefit the school, especially for students enrolled in the San Pedro Adult Continuing Education (SPACE) program. “With over 900 students at SPHS, San Pedro Junior College (SPJC), and SPACE, these computers will also really become handy for all students. However, I noticed that the majority of the SPACE students work in the construction field. Instead of them just working in that industry as a laborer, I believe these students can become more than that. They could become more acquainted with technology and be the mastermind behind the construction,” said Kelly.

Kelly also stated that he is looking to launch a computer drawing program for the next school year. “We had started a pilot program this year called Autocad…[but] our old computers were eight years old, and they couldn’t withstand the size of the Autocad program. There was always technical difficulties, and the computers frequently froze. However, SPHS will be building a room for these computers so they are well-kept, and used properly, and we are looking to restart the program during the next school year. I really thank BWG, The Phoenix, and Wine De Vine for their generous support,” said Kelly.
