The Yearbook Staff
Yearbook is a semester class and students can earn a half credit from it, but it is also considered a club. Yearbook staff members take photos, interview students, market yearbooks, sell advertisements, use computers to complete the layouts, and gain photography skills as well. Yearbook students also determine the theme and cover for the yearbook. Students in grades 9-12 are invited to join the staff.
Joining the Yearbook Staff
To be considered for the yearbook class, students must fill out an application AND sign up for the class during course registration (usually occurs during February/March). Because we can only accommodate a limited number of students, there is a screening process and some students may be cut. Reference checks, teacher recommendations, attendance checks, and the quality of the applications are all considered. We also look to have equal representation from each grade level.
