Josh Krug of Hyland Software presents to new
Computer Science Principles class at WHS
Westlake, OH. – As part of the district vision statement to collaborate with peers and the community,
students from the Westlake High School Technology & Engineering department enrolled in the Honors
Computer Science Principles (CSP) class have forged a partnership with local company Hyland Software.
The collaboration includes field trips, summer HyTech camps, Tech Club activities, internships, a HackA-Thon, Innovation Showdown competition, and classroom presentations. The primary goal is to
introduce and encourage students to learn about coding, programming, computer technology, and the
increasingly expanding, innovative, and exciting field of computer science.
Josh Krug, a senior software developer from Hyland Software, was in the CSP class recently to make a
presentation related to a current lesson. He discussed the aspect of methods, used in programming to
reduce the complexity of a computer program. He also explained how parameters help make code
reusable through what’s known as generalization. Krug and other Hyland professionals will be making
several presentations throughout the year to the CSP class.
