Conroe ISD prepares for web-based future with HP Thin Client 
“We’ve been using HP Thin Clients quite extensively for online testing. 
The old paper environment is going away. The future for us is web-based
computing—and the HP Thin Client is engineered exactly for this.”
—Dr. D. Scott Barrett, Assistant Superintendent for Technology, 
Conroe (Texas) Independent School District

education
Along with slate tablets and chalk erasers, toss into 
the dustbin of educational history the little oval test
answer filled precisely with No. 2 pencil. The way 
Dr. D. Scott Barrett sees it, everything—from End-of-
Course evaluations to project research—is moving 
to the web. At Conroe Independent School District 
in Conroe, Texas, where Dr. Barrett is Assistant
Superintendent for Technology, a key tool in this
transition is the HP Thin Client. 
“The paradigm of the computer as we know it is
changing; the future we see is going to be web-
based,” says Dr. Barrett. “In school districts such 
as ours, this change is being driven in large part 
by online testing requirements. The HP Thin Client—
we call it our Web PC—is bringing us into this future
with confidence.”
