How Technology and Photography Are Positively Impacting School Climate
Written By Laterica Henderson
Keeping up with technology, photos, images of the games captured during the school year can be very challenging Attempting to store these files requires a significant amount of hard-drive space
We have the yearbooks from year to year but all of the photos that do not make it in the yearbook are deleted So how can these images be saved and the students that work so hard to leave a legacy here at Carter High School be remembered?
