Education in the library
The library hosts the National Honors Society during 3rd period advisory, as well as the Cosmetology Club during 9th period club. Both are run by Ms. Tsivitis. 
 
Sometimes, when a teacher is out, classes are placed in the library. When this happens, students are still expected to come to that class and stay for the full period, unless they are excused.
