Technology Support

My name is Mr. McKinney. I have been working at GEHS for the past 3 years, and I am currently a Tech Coordinator/Dean of Students. You may reach me through email or on my cell phone, Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 3:15 p.m., with questions or concerns regarding your chromebook, hotspot, or login information. You may also reach me if you need a new chromebook or haven’t received one.

All students at Greater Egleston are issued a chromebook and we provide assistance with internet access if you don’t have access.  If you do not have a chromebook, if the one you have is not working or is damaged or if your internet access is not reliable get in touch with me immediately.  
 
Teachers are utilizing Clever, Google classroom and Zoom to teach while we are remote.
 

If you are unsure about your student’s email or password, view our password tip sheet or contact me to assist.
