Aviano MHS Information Center Mission and Vision
Mission: The mission of the Aviano MHS Information Center is to further the DoDEA mission by preparing our military children to be responsible digital citizens, critical consumers of information, & life-long learners. We do this by providing access to resources that support DoDEA's College and Career Ready Standards (CCRS), teaching information literacy skills, encouraging inquiry & problem-solving techniques, and promoting a love of reading.
Vision: Our vision is that all Aviano MHS students and teachers will utilize the Information Center as the digital and physical hub of the school. The Information Center will be both an online and real learning hub where collaborative teaching and learning happens, using the most innovative technologies and materials available.
