Cyber Security

Students who apply to this program should be team-players who aren't afraid to make mistakes, try new things and learn from others. We are often seen as "mad-scientists"

as those in Cybersecurity often try something that didn't work AGAIN just to see if we get the same results! 

Successful students are NOT those who ALREADY know about technology ... successful students in this program are those that have GRIT, INTEGRITY, COURAGE, are OPEN-MINDED, DETERMINED and are good at COMMUNICATING and WORKING WITH OTHERS,The Cybersecurity Program provides students with knowledge and skills in computer maintenance and repair, the cybersecurity life cycle, incident handling and networking. 

Successful students will be prepared to take certification exams for CompTIA’s A+ and Networking +, the gateway certifications for careers in IT and Cybersecurity.

• Basics of Computer Hardware & Software
• Computer Forensics & Incident Handling
• Methods for Deciphering Encrypted Data
• Theory of VLAN, interVLAN, LAN

Students in our Cybersecurity Program also compete in the CyberPatriot Competition every year. This competition, sponsored by the Air Force Association, is the nation's national high school cyber defense competition in which over 5,000 teams compete! This competition not only teaches proper internet/web etiquette and safety

but also produces a well-qualified cyber workforce. Many students who participate in this competition have gone on to get internships and credit in the cyber industry. 

The CyberPatriot program is structured to focus students on cyber security awareness and orient all students to the possibilities of cyber careers.
