La Salle College High School has been a Flagship Microsoft IT Academy since 1998 and has been nationally-recognized for being on the cutting edge of 21st Century Educational Technology.
Tablets have been around in schools for a number of years and after a careful study that included a Pilot program with iPads, La Salle chose to go with Windows tablets.
