Assistance will be to students, faculty and staff towards nurturing their development as effective consumers of information and technology, while building knowledge that creates self-reliance, develops critical thinking skills, and fosters cooperation among staff and the student body. We will work to foster an appreciation of literature and reading and to promote life-long learning.
