About the class:

Yearbook I, II, & III are combined classes where students (10th-12th grade) participate in the production of a yearbook. Anyone with an interest is encouraged to inquire, but adviser approval is needed for acceptance into the program.  The yearbook remains under the supervision and guidance of the instructor. Students must gather, organize and record events throughout the year to be published and marketed to students.

Students learn and apply skills in a classroom setting that simulate a real-world, publishing experience while using industry standard computers and software (iMac, InDesign, Photoshop, etc.).  Some of the basic skills learned are: news writing, elements of design, advertising, marketing, photography, collaboration, managing deadlines, etc.

Students must be available to work after school sometimes to gather content or complete assignments.

Freshmen interested in journalism should take Journalism1. Students are introduced to both newspaper and yearbook to determine interest. Journalism1 does not require adviser approval.

Please contact the instructor for any questions or comments.
