Curator’s Office Contact me at My first year at Chestatee High School was in I returned to the educational field as a computer lab manager at West Hall Middle School after a 15 year break. I then transferred to East Hall Middle School as a technology teacher. After about 2 ½ years, I was fortunate to become the media specialist here at Chestatee. I enjoy working with teachers and students. Learning new technology is a passion of mine.

Should you plan on visiting the media center, you need to make sure you have your agenda with you and signed each and every time. Even visits before or after school require you to have a teachers signature in your agenda. You are allowed to have a teacher sign your agenda making a note that you will be visiting the media center every morning or every afternoon if you wish. Each student is to scan their barcode to sign in whenever they visit the media center without a teacher and their class. Return to Exhibit Passes to the Media Center

They are full of fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, romance, humor, emotions and can tend to take your imagination anywhere. Fiction books are shelved with an F and the first 3 letters of the authors last name. Example: Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins would be found in the fiction section in alphabetical order under COL. Return to Exhibit Fiction

Reference books are those you might use while researching a topic for a paper or project. Here at Chestatee, we have moved all of our reference books into their own room which also gives students access to a large conference style table to spread the books out. Reference books may be checked out, but only for the evening. They need to be returned the next day for other students to have access to them. The laptops within our reference room are intended for our online Spanish students. Return to Exhibit Reference Books Click here to view the floor plan.
