iCougars
For the 2010–11 school year, Kearns High School used the iSchool Initiative with money from a federal stimulus Enhancing Education Through Technology grant. The media specialist, Rachel Murphy, wrote the grant to start the program. The iCougars program began on November 5, 2010, and had each student use an iPod Touch to keep track of assignments, take notes, learn different languages, and do research. Kearns High School was the first school of its size to use the iSchool Initiative.
