#OneNetChampions: Jeff Herbel

Enid Public Schools

Director of Information and Instructional Technology

How long have you worked for your organization?

12 years

Describe what you do on an everyday basis.

I manage and oversee all IT operations for the school district.

How long has your organization been a OneNet customer?

10 years

How does high-speed internet help your organization serve your community?

We serve the community by teaching its students. We are a 1-to-1 district and high-speed internet is vital in providing the resources for our 1-to-1. We have moved a lot of our educational resources online, and without high-speed internet we would not be able to provide these services.

Why are you a OneNet champion?

OneNet provides the best internet service in our area. It is fast and reliable, and if we have an issue, it is addressed quickly.

What would you tell others about OneNet?

Even though we have only used OneNet for the last 10 years, I have worked with OneNet since the late 90s. Von and the staff are great and very easy to work with. We also use their firewall service, it has saved our district a lot of money and has met all of our needs.
