Media Center & Chromebooks

Media Center Mission

The mission of the media program is to acquire, organize and provide access to information and knowledge in support of the Troup County School System mission statement and district goals.

To achieve this, we:
provide and maintain resources in all formats that support the curriculum
energetically integrate media and technology resources and services into the instructional activities of the school
cooperatively plan with teachers to design units of instruction and learning strategies that meet the needs of all students
stimulate interest in reading and using information and ideas to promote confidence and critical-thinking skills
encourage and provide tools for self-education outside the classroom
participate in programs for professional growth

The media center is the heart of the school and a vital component in the development of lifelong learners.  It should foster an inviting, stimulating, positive atmosphere to provide sound learning experiences.  The Media Specialist is responsible for creating and maintaining this atmosphere and in guiding students and faculty in becoming effective users of ideas and information.
