Media Center

Welcome to the Mandarin High School Media Center!

The goal of our Media Center is to foster reading as a lifetime pursuit, provide proper research resources and to support the secondary curriculum.

Our library is celebrating Reading again this year with the district's reading program.  Students who read 25 books receive incentives and are recognized at the end-of-the year award ceremony.
