Students can elect to enroll in technology offerings: robotics design, tech animation, digital media arts, computer programming, and pre-engineering.

The school conducts various community service and outreach programs that focus on staff and student participation. School leadership and service clubs promote involvement in annual drives and fundraisers, such as Souper Bowl of Caring, Project Caring Tree, VFW Veterans Breakfast, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Prayers from Maria Glioma Cancer Foundation, Special Olympics, Community Resource Services, and Milestone Autism Resources.
