Diocese of Charleston Technology Mission Statement
St. Anne Catholic School uses technology as one tool that will prepare our students for life in the 21st Century and prepare them for the highly collaborative digital world in which they will one day enter. We offer one-one technology from kindergarten through grade twelve:
