 South High School Library

There will be no library services during the following dates when we are closed due to Advanced Placement and state mandated testing (STAR/CST) in the Library:  May 3-May 18.  This includes the use of the computers, copier machine, and library book checkout.

Students with textbook questions can come to the Textbook Room before school, lunch, or after school during this time.  Library books that are already checked out can be renewed or turned in at the Textbook Room.

Special end-of-the-year information is available for:

  • Textbook return
  • Checking out next year's textbooks for Advanced Placement or Honors classes requiring summer homework
  • Summer Reading books (a requirement for every South High student)
Note: these three pages can be found under the "Lib Home" tab located on the top menu bar.

All fines, debts, lost textbooks, etc., must be paid for in cash since the Business Office is no longer accepting checks through the end of the school year.
