The school district has nine computer labs including a School-to-Work Technology Lab, an AutoCAD Lab, and three computer labs for classroom use at Newcomerstown High School, three labs for classroom use at Newcomerstown Middle School, and two labs at West Elementary School for classroom use.  Students learn computer applications, keyboarding, web design, programming, networking, business applications including word processing, database and spreadsheet applications, graphic arts, and multimedia applications in these computer labs.  Other peripherals in each school include scanners, projection devices, networked laser printers, and digital cameras.

Newcomerstown Schools has its own radio station-WNHS 105.7 that broadcasts 24 hours a day/7 days a week. The school system in conjunction with city government has its own television channel (Channel 21) to cover events in the Newcomerstown area. Both the radio and television stations are student-managed.

The school district has been successful in obtaining grant funding to purchase Interactive Video Distance Learning (IVDL) equipment to be placed into West Elementary School, Newcomerstown Middle School, and Newcomerstown High School.  This equipment allows our students to go on-line and have live interactive voice and video learning take place in the district classrooms from remote locations anywhere in the world.  The Columbus Zoo, the Ohio Department of Education, and many other locations have already been visited.  This equipment allows our students and staff to have many additional opportunities for learning that are not currently available in the school district.  Students and staff can take live classes being offered in other Ohio schools, colleges, and universities while remaining right our district classrooms. 

Newcomerstown High School has obtained grant funding to purchase the equipment and software to place a video production class into the curriculum.  Students are learning how to create, reproduce, and edit video and audio taped productions.  Students have already created promotional and educational videotapes for area businesses and industry. 

The majority of the funding for the technology and programs has been provided through eTech Ohio, the Ohio School Facilities Commission, the Ohio Department of Education, E-Rate funding rebates, and grants.  Staff members are constantly being trained and upgrading technology skills so that improved teaching takes place in the district.  The most important way for our school district to use the new technology, equipment, and resources that has recently been made available to us is to use it to improve the teaching, learning, and communication that is taking place within the classrooms in the school district.  Improved student learning is our most important objective.  Our school district board of education, staff, and students are thankful to our residents for supporting the improvements that have been made to our school facilities over the past three and one half years.  We encourage all of the residents of the area to visit our schools and see the first-class facilities and programs in place.
