Welcome to the HS Library!
Students are always welcome in the library during the school day during study halls or lunch periods, and before and after school. Class instruction or projects may occasionally take precedence over student usage.
Our mission is to provide instruction, resources, and support to students and faculty so that they may obtain information needed for school assignments, become media-literate citizens, and read for pleasure and personal enrichment. We achieve this by providing a wide variety of print and online resources, instruction, equipment, technological support and training in a welcoming and organized environment.
Hours
The HS Library is open from 7:45 am – 3:00 pm on school days. Teachers should contact the librarian to schedule time for classes or other events.
