Santiago High School Library:
Message from MS Olshewsky, your Santiago HS Teacher-Librarian:
I am looking forward to collaborating with all of our teachers and students to build a love of reading and research and to incorporate our Model School Library Standards that will help our students build a future of success.
I am grateful to Nate Theune- Santiago HS Counselor Extraordinaire and Librarian Emeritus for providing our students' library foundation over the past 12 years, and to Ed Perez, the original Santiago HS Librarian. Without their efforts, our school library would not be ready to grow to meet the evolving research and literacy needs of our students and staff. I look forward to extending the groundwork they have laid into the future.
Thank you for welcoming me to the Santiago Shark Family, Ms Olshewsky
