Western High School currently has multiple complete computer labs, a smaller journalism lab, and a large lab in the Senior Transitions classroom.  Instructors have their own desktop computers for student record keeping and professional work. Video projection equipment enables the teaching staff to use interactive software programs in any classroom.  Every machine has high speed access to the internet, multi-media (sound, video) capabilities.  Instructors also have access to streaming video for use in their classrooms through Unitedstreaming^tm.  There are over 2,000 full length videos and 20,000 video clips with new releases added throughout the year.  Student activities are also available.  All educational material is aligned to the Michigan State Standards and is compliant with the No Child Left Behind Legislation.  A recent scientific evaluation showed an increase in test scores by an average of 12.6% by students using this service.  Instructors can search for videos by title, keyword, subject, state standard and other options. 

Another essential component of the Western School District is the careful selection of software that enhances and strengthens the curriculum at each grade level and that supports teacher productivity.  Western has an excellent base of over 100 instructional and teacher productivity software products that students and staff have access to including high tech software like CAD (computer assisted drafting), PowerPoint (multimedia authoring), and a wide variety of CD and online resources (including on-line classes).

Students and staff can now broadcast audio and video to any and all rooms in the entire district.  Additionally, digital camera, scanning, and a variety of desktop publishing materials are available.
