This case study was conducted to examine the practices and procedures of public high school library media specialists in the state of Georgia in order to identify teaching and administrative methods they commonly utilize. The study focused on three high school librarians identified as exceptional through either their achievement of National Board Teaching Certification, by honors and awards granted them by the state of Georgia’s Department of Education, or by recognition of their excellence as judged by their peers in the Georgia Library Media Association and the Georgia Association of Instructional Technology. School demographics, test scores, web presence, and usage of Georgia Library Learning Online were also scrutinized. Two English teachers working with each school library media specialist were interviewed to obtain further evidence of the librarians’ work. Themes emerging from the data indicated that these exemplary school library media specialists make definite and positive contributions to each of their schools. The themes for this study were identified as Leadership, Information Literacy, Collaboration, School Culture, and Administration. The results further suggested that while there is no specific formula for an exceptional program, there are commonalities of practice for school libraries that reflect the Standards for Initial Preparation of School Librarians (American Association of School Librarians & American Library Association, 2010) and on the criteria delineated by the state of Georgia and communities of practice.
