GLEN ELLYN — St. James the Apostle School in Glen Ellyn recently was honored by the Diocese of Joliet for its technology efforts, making it 2012’s “Technology School of the Year.”

“It just feels amazing,” said Patrick Healy, the school’s science coordinator and the teacher behind many of the technological changes made by St. James in the past year.

The school was named Technology School of the Year by the Diocese of Joliet out of 48 schools in the diocese, Healy said. In order to qualify, St. James had to demonstrate its leadership in the technology field and efforts to push the boundaries using technology within the school.
