Golden Sierra Junior Senior High School Learning With Purpose

The mission of Golden Sierra Junior Senior High School Media Center is to ensure that students are effective users of information and ideas through the support and enrichment of curriculum and personal interests.  With equitable access to a teacher librarian, current technologies and materials, practical experiences, relevant programs, instruction and access to digital tools, students will learn to access, evaluate and use information effectively. Providing these experiences will help students to become independent, responsible, lifelong learners prepared for the challenges of the 21st century.

The Golden Sierra High School library strives to be a place where students learn to:

Recognize the need for information

Formulate appropriate research questions

Identify and locate a variety of resources online and in other formats using effective search strategies

Retrieve information in a timely, safe, and responsible manner

Evaluate and analyze information

Independently pursue information to become lifelong learners
