LATEXO – Latexo High School has teamed up with Dell Technologies to implement a Dell Computer Repair Certification program. Latexo students interested in the inner workings of computers and technology took a 6-week course through Dell Technologies and are now Certified Dell Repair Technicians. 

After completing their certification, the students joined the Latexo Tiger Tech Service Technicians team. The Repair Certification Program allows the students to work with the technology department to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain the district’s student computers. Latexo is a one-to-one district, which means each student (Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade) has their own computer or device. This means there are over 500 devices to maintain. Latexo ISD has a fully equipped computer repair lab where students can drop off their computers for repair and service by the Tiger Tech repair technicians. These students stay busy with jobs that range from replacing broken screens, bad batteries, and burned-out motherboards, to overhauling, repairing, or changing out damaged or worn-out parts. 

The Latexo Certified Dell Technicians are Emily Bird, Student Supervisor, and technicians Andrew Clinkscales, Cavanaugh Mullins, Olivia Smith, and Shelby Waldrep. Tessa Easley and Lena Kelsey are the supervising teachers. Latexo High School will expand the program to add more students during the next school year.
