Yearbook I, II, III, and IV concentrate on all aspects involved in producing the school's yearbook. The class uses desktop publishing skills as well as a photo editing software to produce the book.  Students are expected to become proficient in the computerized program designed specifically for Herff Jones. Most students are also responsible for taking pictures to be used in yearbook, downloading them into the computers, cropping and editing, and maintaining the cameras for everyone’s use.  Students must be willing to attend some or all home games for fall, winter, and spring sports. Students also improve and expand their writing skills by producing a student newspaper and literary magazine. They learn about career opportunities in publication as well as the ethics of media. This class learns “by doing.”  Students work independently and in small and large groups; consequently, they must be able to work in cooperation with others and with self-direction. Students must demonstrate trustworthiness, honesty, and dependability.
