Library
Martin High School has a beautiful library facility where students do research, study, or browse the collection. There are three classroom seating areas available to students and faculty for instructional purposes. The library also has twenty-six computer for student use. These computers can access online library databases materials including Gale Resources, Facts-on-File, and Grolier Online Encyclopedia.
Goal
Our goal is to insure quality education by providing access to resources in all formats, by providing guidance in the use of these resources, and by working together with the students and staff to meet the needs of the Martin community.
