My name is Douglas Gonce (Mr. Doug) and I'm the Technology Director, Middle School Bible teacher and technology teacher for both middle and high school students. I've served my country for 20 years in the United States Air Force. During my career, I had the honor and privilege to work in various technological areas such as a Satellite Controller, Communications Security Officer, Sr-71 and U-2 operations, Computer maintenance, Network design and implementation. Another aspect was in management where I had a multi-million dollar budget, a training manager, as well as supervisor and leadership roles.
I graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Religion, an A.S. in Children's Education from Moorpark College and numerous technology certifications from various tech companies. I also carry an Association of Christian Schools International teaching certification. In the classroom, we will learn various topics, from the history of computers to the evolution of technology, from website design to learning computer programs, and cyber security to the future of technology. My desire is that each student coming into this class walks away feeling more confident in dealing with technology and about themselves. Looking forward to meeting you and having engaging conversations. |
Technology ProgramTeacher(s): Doug Gonce
The HCS technology department is highly motivated to bring the best service and teaching to our students. We strive to provide a challenging, engaging, and fun atmosphere where students can effectively learn about the various components of computer science. They explore the history of computers, the evolution of technology, an introduction to basic computer programming, and security and safety issues. We also look at the intricate hardware components of computers and how they work, such as the touch screen. Each class spends time keyboarding (typing), a necessary skill for all to learn. In addition, each grade, students work to become proficient in MS Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint), and the Google and Apple application equivalents as well. The upper grades will be learning Cyber Security, Java scripting and we are offering an AP course in Computer Science. |
