There is already free course materials https://www.bootstrapworld.org https://www.bootstrapworld.org and no access to a computer needed, which is usually impossible for schools to spend money on/have decent internet. Bootstrap does things like secretly teach calculus when students have to keep track of events in a game, and it's backed by statistical research so has proven results instead of just winging it and discovering your curriculum has failed half the students.
Brian Kernighan also has a book https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691176543/understanding-the-digital-world https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691176543/un... which covers all modern communications tech from the ground up he teaches at Princeton in a class that any highschool kid could follow but then you'd need to buy the books, unless you can work out some kind of educator's deal with Princeton to hand out copies.
Edit: this is what the course looks like https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall18/cos109/ https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall18/cos109/ and if you want a book sample see the library genesis pdf, it's probably exactly what you're looking for just not nearly as rigorous as Bootstrap curriculum.
