Yearbook
The Yearbook staff is in production mode, working on covering as many students as possible in the 2024 to 2025 yearbook. As people start to think about course selection, the yearbook staff would like to explain a little about the process of joining Yearbook. To be recruited to the program, teacher Molly Thornton sends out an email to the students she views would be a good fit to help produce the yearbook each year. After receiving an email, the student must fill out a form that has them write why they want to join. Part of the form includes getting three teacher recommendations, one being the student’s past English teacher. If anyone is interested in being a part of the Yearbook staff, see Thornton in E214.
