Techno-savvy kids own the future. The old guys who run Xaverian High in Brooklyn are wise enough to have learned that from the smart, hip, middle-class Brooklyn kids in their classrooms. And so, as Catholic schools continue to shutter, this storied high school on Shore Road in Bay Ridge decided that in order to survive, it had better meet the technological needs of its 21st century students. “That’s why we made a deal with Apple to buy 300 to 350 iPads for the incoming freshman class next year, at a cost of about $150,000 to $200,000,” says Bob Alesi, president of Xaverian.
