Learning activity details
The lab manager program is a unique technology team at La Salle College High School. Every year 50+ applications are submitted to join the team of the top tech students in the school. The program gives La Salle students the chance to have hands on experience running a real network.
The students work hand in hand with the Chief Information Officer, Peter Sigmund, and the Network and Website Administrator, Braden Bonner, to maintain, upgrade, and manage the network throughout the entire school. The members learn about computers by working with faculty and their laptops and students in the labs throughout the school. From fixing problems, or teaching others, the students gain leadership and teaching skills, as well as knowledge of technology. They also gain networking experience from hands on work with the multiple servers that La Salle has. After working with this program, our members become skilled with computers, and people.
The Lab Manager program at La Salle is one of a kind. The students are given the opportunity to run a network that consists of over 1,500 users. The team of young men work together every day with the common goal to make La Salle the best tech school in the country.
