Technology plays an important role in the curriculum at SMCS.
St. Martha Catholic School is committed to offering real-world, hands-on technology training. We prepare students to utilize technology to enhance learning and enrich their lives. By integrating our Catholic belief system, we enable students to meet the challenges of an ever-changing global society with compassion and respect. Our technology program is based on the International Society for Technology in Education's National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS•S), the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), and the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston educational outcomes.
