Welcome To Feagin Mill Middle School

The Feagin Mill Middle School Media Center Program is an integral part of the school's total instructional program. Our philosophy is built around three main beliefs. First, we believe that our students need instruction in information literacy skills so that they can efficiently access, use, and communicate the ever-increasing information available in our world today. Second, we believe that, because students who like to read will read, it is important to help students develop a love of reading. Third, we believe that the media center collection should support the curriculum and instructional program of the school.
