Aroldo Gabriel, 19, front, and Dalton Pistubbee, 16, both students in the Information Technology Academy, work on applications for Android devices Wednesday at Springdale High School. The IT Academy is one of five course-centralized programs for students at the high school. Students who want to focus in a specific area such as business, computer science, medicine, law, engineering or International Baccalaureate can participate in one of the academies in order to get a jump start in their knowledge of those areas.
