Libraries
Parish Episcopal School libraries are centers for reading and research, nurturing curiosity in order to create passionate life-long learners. There are three libraries between the two campuses, one at the Hillcrest Campus for PK - 2nd grade, the Amanda Havard Library at the Midway Campus for 3rd - 4th grades and the Main Library at the Midway Campus for 5th - 12th grades.
In addition to maintaining rich and diverse collections of print and online materials for the educational and recreational needs of the Parish community, our Librarians work in collaboration with teachers to supplement and enhance all areas of curriculum at the students’ point of need. Whether supporting a whole class, a small group, or an individual, the Parish libraries are committed to helping students become creative learners and bold leaders prepared to impact our complex global society.

ParishInquires
ParishInquires is a research process model written in collaboration between the Parish librarians, faculty, staff, and students. Developmentally appropriate versions of this model are used by all three divisions to teach students how to plan and implement effective research strategies so they may access, evaluate, and curate information to engage in authentic, meaningful work.
