HISTORY of SCHOOL WEBSITES - One of the first ones on the web Arbor Heights School web site. listed on the Educational CyberPlayGround School Directory for a very long time. It's still sitting on the same little spot of cyberspace it's had since 1994: Still an active school site, it was one of the first on the web, it spawned the Earth Day Groceries Project, and it is home to the Random Thoughts of Louis Schmier. Stop by for a visit, or take a little historical tour: dedicated to the many teachers who keep their school web sites going on their own time. - Mark Ahlness

Security Assured Information System Education Degree - information education track certification granted by NSA make students more marketable.
University of Pittsburgh offers courses in cyber security By MALLORY WOMER August 30, 2005
Being one of only 65 institutions in the country that has been declared a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Education by the National Security Agency simply wasn't enough for Pitt.
After achieving this status in 2004, Pitt kept working to join the elite league of institutions that meet five Committee on National Security Systems standards. This allows the University to grant five certifications to its students. When Pitt recently achieved this status, it became one of 12 universities in the country - and the only one in Pennsylvania - that offers all five certifications. Now students seeking a master's degree in either information science or telecommunications through Pitt's School of Information Sciences have the opportunity to take classes in an area known as Security Assured Information System education.
Courses in this field satisfy the requirements needed to receive anywhere from one to all five of the certifications, depending on the combination in which they are taken.
James Joshi helped to develop a proposal for a track in security courses that he sent both to the National Science Foundation and later to the NSA for certifications. By following the CNSS standards."
By participating in the NSA-sponsored educational standards, students have access to Information Assurance Scholarship opportunities, which include special scholarships through the Department of Defense as well as equipment grants. Courses in infrastructure protection, which, if completed, can lead to certification in one of the five standards.
