Central High School

At Central High School, our Media Center is more than just a library.  It is the heart of learning on our campus. The Media Center provides a welcoming, safe, and academically focused environment where students can read, research, collaborate, and grow.

Our Media Center supports classroom instruction and student achievement by offering a wide variety of books, digital resources, research tools, and computer access. Whether students are preparing for class assignments, studying for the ACT, working on projects, or simply enjoying a good book, the Media Center is a place where learning comes alive.

We are committed to promoting literacy, critical thinking, and independent learning. Through engaging resources and a supportive atmosphere, we strive to inspire a love of reading and lifelong learning in every student.

At Central High School, we believe strong readers become strong leaders. We invite our students, staff, parents, and community members to take advantage of the many resources available in the Media Center.

“And Still We Rise”

The Central High School Library is a shared academic space designed to support learning, research, and independent reading. In order to maintain an environment where all students can succeed, we ask that everyone follow these important guidelines.

Students are expected to respect library materials so that resources remain available for everyone. Books, magazines, technology, and furnishings should be handled with care to ensure we continue building a strong collection for current and future Lions.

Everything in the library has a designated place. By returning materials to their proper location and keeping areas organized, we ensure that resources are easy to find and accessible when needed.

Sharing is essential in a community of learners. Students should return materials on time so others may use them. When an item is unavailable, placing it on hold demonstrates responsibility and respect for the needs of others.

Finally, the library is a place for focused work and thoughtful reading. Students should avoid disturbing others so that everyone has a quiet, supportive space to study, research, and grow.

At Central High School, we respect people, property, and learning.
