Workstation and laptop donations support Highline's computer science program
Tue, 02/23/2016
Inspirus Credit Union donated 34 computer workstations and nine laptops to the Highline School District to support its nationally recognized computer science program. The White House recently praised Highline among 25 public school districts nationwide for its commitment to giving every student the opportunity to learn computer science.
The workstation and laptop donation, valued at more than $12,000, helps support the district’s growing computer science program, which now includes all its high school campuses and is expanding to middle schools.
This is Inspirus Credit Union’s first major in-kind donation to the Highline School District. Last fall, Inspirus partnered with the Federal Way School District to provide printers to schools at every level in the district.
“We’re honored to help support Highline’s vision to ensure all students graduate tech-savvy and tech-literate,” said Inspirus Vice President of Information Technology Kris Hanson. “Schools are so grateful to receive up-to-date surplus technology, and it’s one more meaningful way for us to give back to education.”
Highline School District is home to more than 19,000 students in the communities of Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, SeaTac, Boulevard Park, and White Center.
