Langston Hughes Middle School would like to thank the PTA for their generous gift of technology to our school! Because of this gift, ALL of the teachers will have a LCD projector in their classroom next year. Also, three SmartBoards will be added to our school, and the Technology Education classroom will have a memory upgrade on the computers to 1gig which will allow for Mr. Threlkeld to expand the curriculum. The other major gift is a Giant Video Screen to be used in the Gym and Hall of Nations for special events (back to school night, etc). Thank you PTA for all you do throughout the year for our school and our students!
