Vision
The RHPS Media Center is an integral part of the total instructional program. We provide students and staff with the skills necessary to function effectively in a global society. We are a resource for information technologies, books, periodicals, materials and state-of-the-art equipment to assist students and staff in their pursuit of ideas and information.

Lessons
Students alternate between going to the computer lab and the media center for lessons. In the media centers, students learn information literacy skills in conjunction with the new Elementary Integrated Curriculum. In the spring, the media center sponsors a Black-Eyed Susan reading promotion for the entire school. All the students read the book nominees and vote for their favorite book.
