Media Center

The Marquette Catholic High School Library Media Center is designed to be a place for quiet research and typing papers.  Students are invited to use the center before school, during their assigned study hall, homeroom or during a class period when their teacher has excused them.  Students must have a pass if they are coming from a class.  Seniors are not required to have a pass during 4th hour or early out.  Independent study hall students are not required to have a pass.  Teachers are also invited to use the Media Center with their classes.

Computer class are also held in the far end of the Media Center.
