STAGE TECHNOLOGY 1 & 2
Welcome to Mr. Doucette's Stage Tech and Design Page! Here you will find resources for class - including both general and unit information. As we journey through each unit over the course of this year, information, documents and power points from class will be added here for you to use. Please note that I do not put every single thing from class on the website and you must come see me to get missed work if it is not posted online. If you have any questions please send an email to Mr. Doucette
