Dear Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School Student:

Welcome to Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School.  We are beginning another exciting school year and are pleased that you have chosen us as the school to lead you in to the future.  This past year was very successful; with your help, we know that the 2010-2011 school year will be even better.

We have nine Information Technology labs:  Cisco Networking, Information Services and Support, two Interactive Media labs, two Information Technology Foundations (one for general use and the Taft Community Computer Center lab) and two Mac labs which specialize in Final Cut Pro (video/audio editing-film production).  We realize that a strong community supports school with a strong academic foundation.  Therefore, with the financial support of Cincinnati Bell, parents and community members will have access to the Community Center lab outside of school hours.  Our many, varied labs give each student an opportunity to specialize in an area of Information Technology that best suits his/her strengths.

The first day of school is scheduled for Wednesday, August 18, 2010.  The school day at Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School begins at 8:45 a.m. and ends at 3:10 p.m.  On the first day of school, students should report to building 6 to find room assignments.  During first bell class, each student will receive his/her schedule.  You will also be provided with a course syllabus outlining your educational pathways for the first quarter.  Please follow your syllabus carefully, it is designed to keep you informed regarding test, quizzes and major assignments.

At Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School, students have the opportunity to participate in many different academic and athletic activities. 

I am proud to welcome you to Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School, a school where the opportunity for success is unlimited.  Remember that coming to school is one part of the process.  Being involved in the school creates life-long learners.

Sincerely,

Anthony G. Smith

Principal
