My Students

Our high school is home to some of the most driven, appreciative, and inspiring students around. Approximately twenty two hundred plus students attend the high school, established in 1976. Our kids come from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. At our school, you'll see that we have a terrific program supporting spectrum folks and those with other special needs and abilities, an ELL program, robust AP and honors classes, and dedicated athletes.

We're one of the most diverse (and awesome) schools in the district.

It's an honor to be the librarian, attempting to bring books and technology that will further inspire and support these kids. Come check out one of our stellar musicals and cheer on our teams; you won't regret it!

My Project

We've compiled a list that will help us add more options for budding readers to our library shelves.

Modern poetry has been flying off the shelves as readers discover new voices, and our students are always on the hunt for a new adventure story or mystery thriller.

Thank you for considering a gift of books for our two thousand plus readers!

Also included in this list are some special pens intended as "prizes" for a reading challenge currently underway. We also need a set of chargers to help us provide that resource to students in after-school tutoring when needed.
