Welcome! Great things are happening at HCAM!
My name is Mary Lee Tosky. I am a long-time staff member at HCAM. I am pleased to work with our fantastic students and such an amazingly talented and caring staff!
I earned my BS in Business and Economics from the State University of NY at Oneonta and my Masters in Business Administration from Lenoir-Rhyne University. I continue to update my credentials and content knowledge with ongoing professional development through both Microsoft and The Friday Institute at NC State. I am working hard to build our Computer Programming Academy, and am very excited about student response and administration support for our fledgling program.
We are working hard in Microsoft Word & PowerPoint and Introduction to Programming using Python Language to earn Microsoft Office Specialist 2016 and Microsoft Technology Assistant Industry Certifications to reinforce real-world application of skills. We are Piloting the new year-long (2 credits) AP Computer Science Principles course, and I am incorporating the most up-to-date materials available in introductory programming instruction.
I am the faculty adviser for the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS). Members have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher as well as having taken 3 or more CTE classes. In addition to this recognition, they have access to additional scholarship opportunities. We are proud to have such talented students at HCAM.
I am available to conference during 1st period and before and after school. Contact me at toskyma@hickoryschools.net or (828) 328-6738 to arrange to talk or meet. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with your questions or concerns.
