Technology Facts

In 1993, Stone (at that time a JHS) applied for a competitive grant to become a Florida Department of Education Retrofit for Technology School. Our school's retrofit grant was rated number two in the state! In November of 1995, contractors completed the installation of fiber optic connections between buildings with category 5 wire within the buildings. Most of our Intermediate Distribution Facilities run from the fiber optic into at least one Cisco switch.

Nearly every room has at least two separate Cat 6e boxes with four data ports for phone or data. Each teacher has a phone, classroom Macintosh (Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83 GHz or better) computer and printer to improve the education and communication opportunities with our students and their families.

As one of Brevard County's Smart Schools, our school is connected to district wide area network with a 10 Megabit link. We were the first school in Brevard to provide wireless access campus-wide within buildings and common areas. By the end of the 2007-2008 school year, each classroom should have a ceiling mounted LCD projector, audio enhancement, document camera and video conferencing capability. We also have begun SmartBoard iniative with.

We selected Macintosh for innovative computing power and ease of use. For the most part, the rest of the computing world is becoming more like the Macintosh as each year passes.

We currently operate 4 OS X servers (including LDAP, Webobjects, Apache, internal DNS, etc.), 2 Windows 2000 servers, Filemaker Pro X server, Studywiz server, various Type to Learn series servers, and Classworks. We operate 8 full class computer labs with a total of over 400 Macs networked.
