The eSMART (Engaging Students through Mobile Access to Resources and Teaching) one to one initiative is underway, and it is the largest program of its kind among Georgia school systems. The eSMART program provides a mechanism for our students to become literate by 21st century standards. The definition of literacy has expanded to include proficiency in using technology. In this digital age students must graduate with the ability to find information, evaluate it and decide what is important. Please visit our website, , to learn more.
