Desoto Central High School Library

Margaret Ann Montgomery, Librarian
Welcome to the DeSoto Central High School Library! The goal of the DCHS Library is to provide an inviting and accessible center for students, faculty, and parents to use print and electronic media.
Ms. Montgomery, your librarian, graduated from Mississippi State University and University of Mississippi with a bachelor's and master's degree in education. She obtained library media certification from the University of Memphis.
Students pay $25 in the school office to receive a device to use at school and at home. Parents can also pay for devices on RevoPay. Students use their school username and password to login. Usernames are the first letter of your first name lowercase, the first letter of your last name lowercase followed by the last six digits of your MSIS/lunch number. The password is Jaguars followed by six digits for your date of birth. Next, students will create a new password. It can not be an old password, contain any of your name, Jaguars, birthdate or lunch number.
All library books and textbooks that have not been returned must be returned or paid for in the library at DCHS or on RevoPay. If a book is lost, it can be paid for with the exact cash in the school library. This includes any books or textbooks from any DCS.
If you have a book or books that you would like to be ordered for our school library, visit the library and tell Ms. Montgomery the book title and author's name.
