Today, September 16, we’re celebrating the Pleasant Valley IT team — the behind-the-scenes heroes who keep our classrooms connected and our systems running.
This year we’re excited to introduce our new Director of Technology, Joe Price! Here’s a little about Joe in his own words:
“What excites me most is the chance to make a meaningful difference for both students and staff by thoughtfully and innovatively integrating technology with instruction. Pleasant Valley has a strong reputation for academic excellence, and I’m excited to support that tradition by ensuring our technology infrastructure, tools, and strategies are both forward-thinking and inclusive.”
On the role of tech in learning: “Technology should serve as a bridge, not a barrier, to learning. When used intentionally, it personalizes instruction, gives students voice and choice, and broadens access to resources and opportunities beyond the classroom.”
When asked to describe his role in three words, Joe said: Connect. Empower. Innovate. We think that sums it up perfectly.
And when he’s not leading our tech team, you’ll likely find him outdoors — hiking, biking, or capturing nature through his camera lens.
Please join us in congratulating Joe on his new role, and thanking our entire IT team for all they do to support our Spartans every day!
