Raptors Read!
Our Raptors Read! program allows all students—regardless of grade level or course—to select a text that best matches their reading preferences and reading levels to enjoy over the summer. When students return to Eaglecrest in August, they will have an opportunity to discuss their book with their peers.
If students already have a book they want to read, that’s great! If not, we have curated a list of suggested titles.. To find out more about this program and to access the list of books, please watch the video below and visit the Raptors Read! page.

Collaborative Partnerships
The EHS library is a TEACHING LIBRARY, where students and teachers read, write, and research. Our certified Teacher Librarians are here to collaborate with teachers on lessons that take place in one of our labs, on the library floor, or in the teacher’s own classroom.
Our Teacher Librarians are not only familiar with Eaglecrest’s curriculum and each PLT’s SMART goals, but we also have knowledge of the print and online resources that could be of use to you and your students.
If you’re interested in using the library and its resources, please call to schedule some time with Hollie Hawkins or Christine Mellinger. We’re looking forward to collaborating with you on your lessons!
