- Our administrative network is on an IBM AS/400 platform with host-to-PC connectivity and intranet connection to our office PC's through a LAN running on a Pentium II-based PC and Novell NetWare.
- Our district participates in MONEX, the Mississippi On-line Network Exchange, a project of the Mississippi Department of Education, that connects all K-12 schools in Mississippi to the internet through a state-wide backbone. MONEX provides two resources for us; easy transportation of student records and data to the state level, and serves as our internet gateway (ISP).
- Our district WAN connects all of our schools to the central offices using Cisco routers on a 100BASE-TX switched network running on Novell NetWare 5.1 .
- Most of our classrooms have five or more PC's connected to school-wide LAN's which are in turn connected to our district WAN/intranet via Cisco routers and high-speed data lines.
- Our vocational center has over 150 state-of-the-art PC's used in the classroom to teach technological skills to the students. Our student career center uses a computerized career search and discovery program to help students plan their careers and choose colleges.
- All of our schools' libraries are automated with on-line card catalogs, electronic research resources, and internet connectivity. They are all connected to the school-wide LAN's and district WAN, running Novell NetWare and Follett Software Company's Unison library automation products.
