Media Center

The school library media program is an integral part of Wheaton High School’s instructional program. The media center facility provides all staff and students access to a wide variety of information that supports the curriculum as well as materials for leisure time reading. Our mission is to encourage students to be life-long learners and to help them be independent and effective users of information.
