Senior Memory Pages for the Yearbook:
It is time to get out your photo albums and plan a senior memory page for your senior. Download an order form by following the link at the top of the page. We custom design every senior memory page. All you have to do is select the pictures and write the message as you want it to appear on the page. Please submit the ad contract, pictures, message, and payment to Ms. Stout in room 4-111 or drop them off in an envelope at the front desk by December 15th. Completed orders with pictures, messages and payment received by September 30th  receive a special discount. Memory pages are designed using a photo of your senior as the background. Be sure to include an individual photo of your senior with plenty of “background” space for this purpose.  View sample layouts by following the link at the top of the page. Remember, senior memory pages are not limited to purchase by parents. If aunts and uncles, grandparents, churches, or businesses want to honor a special senior or group of seniors, this offer is extended to them as well.

Senior Portraits:
Leonard’s  is our official yearbook photography company.

Program Overview:
Yearbook is the generic name given to the four Journalism classes which meet during 5th and 6th periods in the Publications Lab (room 4-111). Yearbook is open to freshmen with previous journalism/photography experience, sophomores, juniors and seniors. An application process with teacher recommendations is required to be selected for yearbook staff. Applications are distributed in February every year.
Students applying for yearbook staff need to be aware that after school time and weekend work will be required to meet publishing deadlines. The staff takes pictures, conducts surveys and interviews to gather information, writes stories, creates headlines and captions, designs page layouts, establishes themes, produces cover and end-sheet art, supervises underclass and club pictures and sponsors the final blood drive each year. Also, students are required to sell commercial ad’s as part of the course requirements.
All work is done in digital format in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.
The yearbook has won national, regional and state awards over the years and is gaining recognition as one of the top books in the country.
