As the core of the school's instructional program, the Media Center at Cedar Ridge High School has the responsibility to provide access to a wide range of informational materials, to support classroom instruction, and to meet the educational objectives of the school. The media staff is committed to supporting the faculty, guiding and instructing students in the use of media, and motivating them to find pleasure in reading. Through the Media Advisory and Technology Committee, (consisting of faculty, administrators, parents, and students) and under the leadership of the Media and Technology Specialists, we will meet the challenge facing America's schools today: the "empowerment of all children to function effectively in their future, a future marked increasingly with change, information growth, and evolving technologies."
