Digital Learning Initiative


Portsmouth Public Schools is committed to providing students and teachers with technology resources to enhance the learning environment. We are committed to providing 21st century learning capabilities to our students.

PPS received a grant,Virginia e-Learning Backpack Initiative, by the Virginia Department of Education to help us provide high school students with devices that extend learning beyond the walls of a classroom.  These devices will promote communication, collaboration, and creation.

We have also committed to increasing our WiFi speed at our Middle and High School facilities. Most importantly, we have equipped over 500 teachers with more technology in the classroom with Promethean boards, interactive devices and tablets.
