Tutoring Help!

Do you need help with Spanish, Math or English??? Well, tutors will be available to help you Monday through Thursday from 2:15 PM until 3:15 PM here in the Media Center. Your tutor will be students who are members of the National Honor Society and who are taking either an AP or level 1 class in the subject area they are tutoring.
Occasionally, teachers will also be available to offer assistance.
Come check it out! Raise your grade and understanding of a subject by stopping in after school for as little or as long as you would like! We hope to see you soon!

Research Help

One of the best aids to the research process offered at school is our very comprehensive research booklet. A link to this document can be found below. Questions can be directed to the librarians who are always willing to help with your projects.
We welcome your comments or suggestions.
