Technology
At McLain Community High School, technology isn't just a buzzword, it's a vital part of how students learn and grow. Among our many resources is a 3D printer, transforming complex ideas into physical models that can be touched and felt. These machines are not just for show, they make learning hands-on and relevant.
McLain’s robotics sets take this even further, offering students a chance to dive into programming and engineering. The result? Lessons that stick, because students don't just hear about science and math – they see it in action.
The school also makes smart use of online resources, providing an array of tools that supplement classroom learning. Interactive platforms help students grasp complex subjects, while digital libraries offer an expanded world of research possibilities. It's a balanced approach, blending old-school teaching with new-school tech, making McLain Community High School a standout in modern education.

Jeffco Public School’s 1:1 program provides first- through 12th-grade students in neighborhood and option schools a district Chromebook.

All students can access a district-purchased and managed Chromebook to personalize their learning. This closes the digital device divide and addresses the inequities in classrooms to transform learning.
