• High School Library Happenings - Fall 2024

  So much is going on at the High School Library in the month since school started.  
  
  As students embark on their various academic journeys, such as 12th grade Capstone Projects in Music, English, and History and 10th grade Cities research, the Librarians are in the classrooms teaching research skills and holding daily labs with individual students to assist in locating credible and scholarly sources and honing research questions and paths. 
  
  The Librarians have also hosted several Wellness Wednesday craft making events, board and card games on Fridays, daily community poll and puzzles.  The high school student book club and two faculty book clubs also see much enthusiasm and excitement.  
  
  We look forward to a rewarding year in personal and academic growth for all.
