Junior High & High School Library

Sharon Sparkman - Librarian
Starrla McMinn- Library Assistant

The mission of the secondary library is to provide a learning environment for students, staff and parents so they can seek information, develop and share projects, read for pleasure and assignments, study alone or in a group and meet as a group for special programs. The library also aims to train its patrons as lifelong learners who are encouraged to develop their God-given talents for lives of Christian leadership and service.
