About the Library Media Center

This Facility opened its doors in September of 1998. The center is named for Bill and Lynn Shepherd, both generous donors, graduates and committed alumni of (Norfolk) Catholic High School. This Truly impressive addition adds another dimension to the continuous growth in academic excellence we strive to maintain here at CHS.

The Center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that includes distance learning capabilities in a 64-seat multi-purpose seminar room. It houses a new computer graphic arts lab and a 25-station computer workroom.

It is exciting to offer students such a bright and comfortable library in which to research, read and study, to explore the technologies of present and future.

Software, videos, books, all are welcomed as we look to stock the media center with the many learning opportunities for our students.
