The GDRSD tech team recently replaced outdated Peter Twomey Youth Center equipment, streamlining the technology networking closet and copy room for greater efficiency. Like every district building, PTYC's technology use has grown significantly. The old equipment relied on injectors and extra cables to keep everything running, but the new system handles it all seamlessly—no add-ons required. Take a look at the before-and-after photos!
