Mission Statement
In partnership with the community,
the Academy of Information Technology provides a leading edge,
rigorous, career-focused education which will prepare our diverse
student body for post-secondary education and an increasingly
technology-oriented society.
For
the past 24 years, Washington High School has led the Milwaukee
Public Schools in hosting a four year program that has provided
students with an understanding of computer technology and careers
in programming, computer networking, and computer business applications
through the use of a problem-centered curriculum. This program
has provided beginning training experiences for students that
are consistent with industry expectations.
In
the spring of 2000, Washington was chosen as one of twelve schools
in the country to pilot a new national technology academy sponsored
by the National Academy Foundation. Through this new partnership
students will have the ability to earn a nationally recognized
certificate in Information Technology.
