No Student WiFi

posted Nov 14, 2019, 8:06 AM by Central Library   [ updated Nov 14, 2019, 8:14 AM ]

We have just learned that the InformationTechnology (IT) Department asked for and received approval from the School Board to disable all access to the Student WiFi.

Access will be disabled during a 30-day trial period.  In December, the IT Department will go back to the School Board and the next course of action for Student WiFi will be determined.

Until then student WiFi will be unavailable. As we find out any information, we will continue to update these Library Announcement pages.  Thank you.

On Wednesday, November 13th, the McIninch Library at Central High School is hosting Gloria Norris for the day.

On Wednesday, November 13, Central will be welcoming back one of its most distinguished alumna, Gloria Norris, renowned Hollywood screenwriter and author of the nationally acclaimed memoir of growing up in Manchester, KooKooLand. 

First, she is conducting a Master Class in Writing from 9-10:30am in the McIninch Library.  Then she will be speaking with students for two mods, though students will be attending only one, either E or F, again in the Library.  Some students may be participating in both the writing class and one of the later presentations.
