Although we are primarily the research center for the high school, we also provide a number of other services for students and classroom teachers including the taping and/or dubbing of instructional television and satellite programs, laminating classroom materials, and access to a variety of audio-visual equipment.  Xerox and color printing services are available for our students.  In addition, we regularly teach classroom groups and individuals the research skills needed in our ever-changing technological environment.  We welcome parents to drop by on conference days to “check us out!”
