Yearbook

Yearbook is a one semester (fall only) class.  Interested students need to be in their Junior or Senior year, they need to fill out an application and be accepted.  Applications are available in the counseling office or can be downloaded here. 

 

Students who are accepted to be on the yearbook staff will be using industry standard publishing software made by Adobe.  They will be creating an historical document in an all digital format.  Some important skills for yearbook staffers are being well organized, being independent thinkers, detail oriented craftsmen, possessing strong writing skills, an outgoing personality and have access to transportation.
