It is the mission of the Rogers-Herr Media Center to provide a positive and welcoming environment
in which students, faculty, parents and community members are encouraged to become
effective users of information by providing a wide range of programs and multimedia resources which represent
various interests, backgrounds, maturity levels, genres, and reading levels that support the curriculum and
align with the strategic direction of Rogers-Herr Middle School.

New makerspace coming soon!
What, you may ask, is a Makerspace?
A Makerspace is an interactive collaborative space for DIY and technology-based products. You may find a Makerspace in a library, school, or anywhere! It is a hands-on creative space for students to explore interests and use tools and materials to create projects. Essentially it is your place to experiment, collaborate, and learn while having fun!

Tell Other Rams What You "Like"
Found a book that you particularly like? Let other Rams readers know about it! You can fill out a "thumbs up" recommendation that will showcase both your opinion and the book itself so others can enjoy it as well.  Simply fill out the "thumbs up" form and give it to Mrs. Umbarger or Mrs. Tackett.  We'll pull the book for you and display it along with your form.
