Pembroke Village/Hill Computer Program

Technology plays and will continue to play a part in the school and daily lives of our students. Both schools have a fully equipped computer lab and all students have at least one computer class each week.

Pembroke is in the process of launching a K-12 technology portfolio that will follow students throughout their time in the Pembroke School District. Currently, both Pembroke Village and Pembroke Hill School students are practicing the skills that will be needed in order to demonstrate the proficiencies at each grade level. We follow the Technology Foundations given by the state.
