Computer Technology
Computer Technology provides PCA students with opportunities that are unparalleled in the Autauga-Elmore area. Students are guided by a specially trained, state-certified instructor in areas such as word processing, internet education and research, database creation, and publishing. This unique program is designed to enhance learning for students at every level, in conjunction with the academic curriculum. The program is offered on a weekly basis, and the computer lab is also available during the week for individual enrichment, composition and research. Dr. Mac Adkins, a member of the PCA Board of Directors, was one of the authors of The Alabama Course of Study: Technology which is used by all public schools in the state of Alabama.
