Students in Mrs. Whittekiend’s Exploring Computer Science class were given the exciting opportunity to earn Microsoft Office Specialist certifications in Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word. These industry-recognized tests allow students to demonstrate that they have the skills needed to get the most out of Office. According to microsoft.com, holding a MOS certification can earn an entry-level business employee as much as $16,000 more in annual salary than their non-certified peers. We are very proud of these students and the hard work they put into passing these rigorous tests!
