Before there was broadband, WiFi, esports, or even the internet, Matanuska Telephone Association (MTA) was partnering with area schools with a goal of making new connections – both literally and figuratively.
Launched in 1953, the co-op has long held educational initiatives as a top priority and that has not changed in the nearly 70 years since. What has changed is the technology available to both MTA and students, as well as the strategies aimed at ensuring all students in the area have a tech-forward future.
