Technology
During the 2005-2006 school year, the school developed their own T.V. show called NPZ TV. The show was founded by English teacher Bill Zimmer and Computer Teacher Jen Cone. NPZ TV continues to deliver the school's daily announcements with two anchors and a Lunch/Weather/Wellness person, the broadcast also includes short shows about school sports,local and national news and student interests that are created by the Advanced Graphics and Video Editing for Production Class taught by Cone. Students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, arrive at the school early to assist with the show, both as the anchors and to work with the technology in the 'Controlroom' to insert V-Screen backgrounds and videos directly into the teleprompter. In the start of the 3rd season, new English teacher Joel Neden began to fill in for Zimmer due to his expected departure to become a principal in a different school district. Zimmer's replacement, an old NPHS veteran Joe Dolan now writes the daily script with Neden.
The high school also has its own internet radio station called Radio New Paltz, it is more commonly referred to as 'RNP'. RNP is capable of broadcasting student produced shows and audio from sports commentary.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
