It is with Mr. Franklin's original vision in mind that the Gilbert High School library will continue to grow into its new form. Coupled with the College and Career Readiness Center, our new library aims to promote community, education, and to help students explore their own future educational possibilities. We hope to help students not only gain information to be utilized for school assignments but to encourage our students to experience their education in such a way that they grow as human beings. It is within the walls of "Stories" that students may be inspired by the stories of others, gain valuable information for planning their own futures, and to experience the great value of a supportive community.

It is our mission to create a culture of warmth and belonging for all of our students and faculty. We believe that our library is a special space within Gilbert High School that not only serves as an instrument in support of education but also that of the community. It is our collective behavior within this special space that enables us to foster an environment that we may all learn and enjoy. We respectfully request that everyone:

Those not contributing to our culture of warmth and belonging will be asked to change their behavior to support the environment or be asked to leave.
