As we end the 2023-24  school year, we have one more staff change to announce: Justin Glenn will be joining the Library staff, working on electronic resources and administration of our catalog system. Deb Winarski is leaving to take on a new role at CTU, Director of Educational Technology.  If you know Justin and Deb from their previous roles, you can still visit them, but should look for them in their NEW offices as of June 3.   

Congratulations and good luck to all of our graduates facing transitions of their own. Have a good summer!
