Welcome to the Central Heights Middle & High School Library!

Our library is a vibrant hub for learning, discovery, and creativity. Under the guidance of Mrs. Sharon Duke—an experienced educator with over 25 years in education—students have access to a wide range of resources to support academic growth, spark imagination, and foster a lifelong love of reading. Whether you're looking for a quiet space to study, the perfect book to get lost in, or help with research and technology, the library is here for you!

Mission Statement: The mission of the CHISD Libraries is to foster the love of reading for pleasure and information by connecting our students, faculty, and administration with the resources, technology, and critical thinking skills they need to inspire learning. We will enrich lives by maintaining a nurturing, safe, fun, and inviting environment for all and strive to meet the needs of all ethnic, cultural, and educational differences for all patrons to excel in our global community. We will collaborate with teachers, administrators, and parents to inspire learning and ensure that we have adequate resources to become 21st century learners.

Vision: Our vision is to empower students to become ethical users, critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and skillful researchers. We will ensure equality and freedom to access all information for our diverse population.

Goals:

• To ensure that our students acquire information literacy skills

• To develop and maintain a balanced, extensive, and accessible

collection of print and non-print material for all our patrons
