Media Center & Student Support Hub
The Hoffman Estates High School Media Center & Student Support Hub officially opened its doors in the Spring of 2019. This unique space has been carefully designed, first and foremost, as a learning environment and constructed in which students will feel comfortable. We ask that every Hawk that uses the space follow these expectations:
- Please be sure to have your student ID with you anytime you wish to access the Media Center.
- There is no eating in the Media Center. Please do not bring food into the area.
- Show respect and consideration for others by maintaining a quiet learning environment.
- Only use the main entrance of the Media Center for entering and exiting the space during the school day.
