We hope that you will be a frequent visitor not only through our web page but in person as well. It is our mission to provide an inviting atmosphere for students and faculty to develop and enhance media and technology skills and pursue a love of reading. Technology includes an automated card catalog, closed circuit television system, cablevision, video retrieval, internet access, networked computers and CD tower.
Student assistants play a big role in keeping the media center running.
Media is a year-long elective and students learn skills such as using the circulation management system, operating equipment, working closed circuit television and helping with computers. They also learn a variety of clerical skills and build independence and responsibility through daily assigned tasks such as re-shelving books, maintaining bibliography lists for teachers, running errands, creating bulleting board and project displays, and researching topics for the classroom. Field trips to the Asheboro Courier Tribune and university and public libraries help them to understand the role of media in our society and see the similarities and differences in their daily tasks in our media center and the same tasks done in a much larger setting. The Accelerated Reader Program is in full swing . Students can access the testing program from any school computer.
