The high school library recently was awarded a $500 grant from The Quaker Foundation. The grant has funded the library's project "Translate to Relate: Supplementing Required Reading for English Language Learners." Check out our new audiobooks and Spanish language materials above!


New Philadelphia High School celebrated Teen Read Week October 17th through the 21st. Freshman, Jolissa Price, won the Teen Read Week "Get Caught Reading" contest. Over 230 entries were received from students that were "caught" reading during their down time at school. Jolissa won a $20 gift certificate which was generously donated by The Daily Grind cafe. Our newest shipment of books features Teen Read Week "Teens' Top Ten" nominees and winners.
