Technology at Pingry seeks to both provide the community with technology resources, as well as teach the community the technology skills necessary for success. To accomplish the former, both campuses have fast and reliable WiFi networks, as well as programs in place to provide all faculty, staff, and students with the hardware and software they need. As for teaching technology skills, Pingry believes that people best cultivate these skills within the context of their work.

The Technology Team has 7 full-time employees in grades K-12 to help support this mission.
