Letchworth library

The mission of the Letchworth Central Middle and High School Library Media Program is to “ensure that students and staff are effective and discriminating life-long users of information.”1 Effective use of information requires access to information in traditional, up-to-date, and future methods of technologies. It is essential that the school library media program be integrated into the existing curriculum of every classroom, since “no one part of the system can achieve satisfactory results without the cooperation of other parts of the whole.”2

Teachers and library media specialists must plan, work and teach together to see that students become independent and confident users of information.

Letchworth in the news

The Advanced Studies program allows high school students the opportunity to earn college credit from Genesee Community College while attending class within their high school. All Advanced Studies courses, including classes English, foreign languages, math, science, and social sciences, are approved by Genesee's Academic Senate and the State University of New York (SUNY). The courses are taught by high school teachers who are approved Genesee adjunct faculty. Among the benefits of the Advanced Studies programs: - Students are challenged and motivated by the rigors of college level coursework during their high school junior and senior years. - Students are able to avoid repeating some freshman year college courses, thereby obtaining a head start on their college careers. - Students have the opportunity to experience some of the requirements and options of college life including class selection, registration and utilizing college facilities. - Students pay a lower tuition rate than for traditional Genesee Community College courses.

The Outstanding Scholars Awards Ceremony will include opening remarks by Terry Reding, Genesee Advanced Studies Specialist; recognition of the semifinalists by Ed Levinstein, Genesee Advanced Studies Specialist; and presentation of the finalists by Dr. Claudia H. Moore, Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs. Closing remarks will be made by Kathy Lopes, Acting Dean of Advanced Studies.

The following list includes the semifinalists who were nominated by their own high school teachers. The Outstanding Scholars finalists will be announced at Wednesday's ceremony.
