Chestatee High media specialist Jennifer Gibson works with 10th-grader Alexander Aldaco Tuesday morning during a world literature class school reform cumulative project. Gibson won the North Georgia district Media Specialist of the Year award.
The term school media center may conjure up an image of a place where students go to check out a book or work on a research paper and a librarian halting any noise by putting one finger to her lips and whispering, “Shush!” Anyone who still has those images has never been to Chestatee High School. The center is filled with bustling activity with 75 to 100 students during each class period, working in groups at tables and at computers.
