Media Center Home

The school media center serves as a hub for information, learning, and exploration. It provides resources that support the curriculum and enhance students' educational experiences. The media center is a place where students can discover new ideas, explore different perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. It also serves as a space for collaboration, research, and creativity, supporting students in their academic pursuits and preparing them for success in a rapidly changing world.

High Point Media Center Mission- The mission of the High Point Media ​program is to encourage students to become problem solvers, risk takers, enthusiastic readers and lifelong learners. We will explore Digital Citizenship and what it means to be a good citizen in a digital world. Media and Technology classes are offered to all students and are aligned with the curriculum and the IB philosophy. Our lessons are developed in collaboration with classroom and support teachers. A quality, up to date collection of print and non-print resources is available and continually updated with stakeholder feedback to support and enrich the curriculum and encourage reading for pleasure both at school and at home.

The Media Center uses Follett’s Destiny Library Manager to maintain our library collection. Patrons access the collection using Destiny Discover, a graphics based circulation software that allows them to search for print and digital content available in their school’s media center. Whether it’s a student or teacher looking for leisure reading/entertainment, materials to support homework or lesson planning, Destiny Discover will help them find what they’re looking for.

Destiny Discover can be accessed by students through Classlink. Look for Destiny Discover on the e-Library tab.
