We are a small-town school with students who work hard for everything that they have. They thrive on education and knowledge. They know how important learning is. They aspire to go to the next level when they graduate high school. They have big dreams and great hopes for their futures.
Our students take pride in their small community and represent the town as well.
They are involved in speech contests, one-act plays, band and choir competitions, and sports activities. Quiz bowls, science fairs, FFA projects, mentoring programs, and scholastic competitions are also activities that our students take part in.
The students at our high school are proud of their school and community. They get compliments from wait staff when they go to restaurants on their manners and respect towards people outside of the community. As a teacher at our high school, I take pride in our students and how they treat one another and others. They deserve to have the best opportunities for their education and future.
My Project
We have a very small and modest school library that tries to keep up with current titles and texts. Our students love to read and are constantly coming in requesting various titles from classics to new.
This is my 5th year of being the new school librarian and I am seeking new ways and sources to obtain a variety of titles for my students and teachers.
When I first started, I was told that it would take 5 to 8 years to build my library to where it needs to be to meet our students 21st century needs. They were right and it is hard to be patient!
I love books and the knowledge that they hold. My students and staff see the "power" that books contain and I want to provide as many that I can for them.
