My Project

My high school is the #1 Most Diverse High School in the U.S. Not only does the library meet the needs of a variety of learners, but it's also tasked with supporting all of our school's curricular needs.

The goal of this project is to better serve our students and staff by updating and increasing our resources that support STEM education.

By updating the collection we can provide our students with resources that will support their educational goals and inspire students to learn about STEM and perhaps their future in that field.

Ms. Andresen Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School Grades 9-12
