Library

In addition to the vast wealth of resources that are available to the students via the internet on their classroom computers, there are additional computers in the library, also linked to the internet.  Also, we are currently building the amount of books that are housed in the High School Library.  Computerized catalogue is available to the students.

Even though our internet system is censored and carefully monitored, there are many sites available to the students for their research. 

The internet provides such a plethora of information, that it is the responsibility of the teachers and the students to discern valid information from junk information.  There are plenty of both on the internet.

 Consequently, we require that our students access their internet information for all research papers through one of the following gateways.  These gateways are links to internet research that has been screened for validity.

In addition, we encourage you to check out the library websites of various private colleges.  This is a good way to get to know colleges that you may interested in while researching a paper.   Most schools have an .edu website.

Citation Style

One of the main purposes of high school is to prepare for college.  Most colleges require that research papers be written in APA style.  For that reason we will require most, if not all papers to be written in APA style. 

Help with APA and MLA styles can be found at the following sites:
