Q; What if I contact the yearbook company? Can they reprint the book for me?

It is only cost effective when hundreds of books are produced. We are not planning to do a reprint of the 2025 book.

Are you interested in joining our staff?
The yearbook staff is a student-run class, usually taking place during 6th period. Yearbook encompasses journalism, photography, graphic design, marketing, and there are opportunities for leadership. There is no experience necessary to join the staff, here are some of the expectations:
Yearbook assignments most often take place outside of class and after school. You may have to attend sporting events, dances or other after school events.
The yearbook is looking for students who are motivated to do quality work. Our staff members agree that this is a fun class, but not an easy class. This class produces a real product with real deadlines. Missing or not completing an assignment on time has real world consequences. We are looking for students who are trustworthy and responsible.
You must meet with our advisor, Mr Espinosa and receive permission before enrolling in the class.
