One-to-one computing edit
Poston Butte High School does not employ textbooks. Instead, the school's one-to-one computing policy provides a laptop to each student in lieu of textbooks.[2]
The first school to use one-to-one computing in Arizona was Empire High School, which started doing so in 2005. Florence district officials worked with Empire to implement a similar program at Poston Butte in 2009.[3] After successful implementation at Poston Butte, it was expanded to Florence High School in 2010.[4]
First graduating class edit
The first class graduated from Poston Butte on May 30, 2012.[5] It had 253 students.
