Technology Prorgam

HCHS has an "Anytime Anywhere Learning" Program and students greatly benefit from a networked, state-of-the-art purchase of a laptop computer from the school. Laptop Computer: Every student is required to purchase a laptop computer through the school. The laptop bundle comes with a four year (parts and labor) warranty. Therefore, the school guarantees that a laptop purchased in the freshman year will be sufficient (with minor upgrades possibly required) through the senior year. The cost of the laptops varies from year to year, but is approximately $2,500. For more information on what is included in the bundle and the laptop specifications, please visit the Technology page.

  • ISEE Admissions Testing: In addition to the amounts listed above, new students will be expected to complete ISEE admissions testing at a cost of $80.00.
