Another angle is to come in through the student computer club, or help start 
one if it doesn't exist.  It could even be marketed for its educational value 
as college preparation for students who might pursue a computer related 
degree.  Students can learn about web servers, file servers, networks, 
programming, etc.  The students might eventually run the schools web server, 
or even more!
