Our Direction
The vision of the media program is to have middle school graduates who are effective, efficient, and conscientious users and producers of information and ideas (ALA/AECT, 1998).
The mission of the media program is to provide students with opportunities for resource-based learning; to facilitate students' information literacy skills; to provide timely access to a broad range of resources; and to increase student learning through collaboration with educators.
