Ennis High School held a faculty meeting to discuss the Texas STaR Chart, which is a long-range technology plan for Texas classrooms. The faculty analyzed Ennis High School's data from the STaR Chart, which evaluates four areas of technology integration. They identified weaknesses in student mastery of technology applications, access to professional development, and student-to-computer ratios. The faculty then broke into departments to discuss improvements and set goals to move the school towards being "Target Tech", the highest STaR Chart rating, for the upcoming school year.
