Governor Bob Riley went to Tarrant High School, one of the first schools to take part, to celebrate all schools being connected. Through web cameras and projectors, students in one school can take courses offered at another school across the state.
Riley watched students learn French and Mandarin Chinese from teachers in Dothan and Mobile.
Deongela Barrett, a student at Tarrant High School said ""I'm going to tell them it was fun. Then I'm going to tell them how to say hey. I'm going to say ni-how."
"It's the Pleasant Groves and the Clay County High Schools and the Coosa County High Schools and schools in Bullock County and schools in Tarrant having the same opportunities for their students that Mountain Brook and Vestavia and Hoover and Homewood have," state superintendent Joe Morton explained.
One of Tarrant's labs was paid for by the state. The school system found a grant to pay for the other.
