East Hardin Middle School The Mission of the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) is to advance the individual capabilities; to motivate all students; and to create leadership opportunities through the use of technology.

Goal 2 The STLP will provide leadership opportunities for all students. At the beginning of the school year, announcements are made every morning, inviting everyone to join STLP. At EHMS, we welcome any student to join throughout the entire school year. Our STLP group meets during school on monthly club days, on Tuesday mornings before school, and after school on Tuesdays & Thursdays. We have so many students involved in other extra-curricular activities, our attendance is limited by choice of the students. C LICK TO VIEW FRONT & BACK OF APPLICATION. MS Word

The Rebel Report STLP students sell “broadcast spots” they call Happy Grams to students and staff at EHMS. This originally started out as a problem solving plan to help raise funds in order to replace outdated and broken broadcasting equipment. It developed into a real world experience reinforcing the necessity for advertising in today’s field of broadcasting. With added funds from other sources, the crew is now learning to operate updated broadcast equipment, but they still sell Happy Grams to provide a service – a voice for students.

Every nine weeks during EHMS Mid-term Open House Night, the STLP crew works in the computer lab to help parents with the Individual Learning Plan (ILP) Parent Review. The STLP crew sets up the lab for Open House by getting the parent ILP password /sign-in table set up and the computers set to the ILP log on site. The STLP crew uses the Smart Board to train parents on the ILP review process. They also provide parents with individual help on using the computer to log on and navigating through their child's ILP for review.
