Yearbook

In Yearbook class we create the school's yearbook. Students learn photography and photo editing skills, general computing skills, journalism, and graphic design. We partner with Jostens to use their web based design program to record the year's events with creative flair. This class is a true collaboration of the students, staff and our Jostens consultants to translate the creative vision of the students into a product which we market and sell. Not only do the students increase their technology and design skills, but they learn to manage a business and target their product to their audience. They also learn to be detail oriented and sensitive to ethical issues within journalism. At the end of the year, they get to see the tangible results of their year's work as a bound book. The excitement and pride at that time makes a year's hard work worth it. In order to apply students must submit an application in the spring of the year before they want to join. Students must have a 3.0 grade point average and be strongly motivated and enthusiastic about taking on the challenges of this class.
