Work on this year’s yearbook has officially come to an end. After a lot of work that the yearbook club has put in, students can now start ordering their personal copies! There are three different purchasing windows, each with a corresponding price, ranging from $45 to $60, depending on how early you order (see below).
The yearbook is not just a book filled with pictures–it’s a time capsule. It captures memories and stories that made this academic year unique, and that you want to look back on in the future to remember your high school adventure. The final pages include portraits of every single student, teacher, and faculty. It is a visual reminder of the people who filled our days–classmates, friends, roommates, even those we only nodded to in the hallway. These pages are meant to remind us that we were all part of a community.
As Mr. Clemente said, “I think it’s a great memory. I think it’s a great way to remember at least some of your years when you were young. Like, I still, till this day, look at my yearbook. And my yearbook, it’s from like 20 something years ago, and it’s still nice to look at it and be like, oh, I wonder what they’re doing.”
This year, the Yearbook Club began working right from the start of the school year. Led by Mr. Clemente and Mr. Morales, the club met weekly to brainstorm layouts, design pages, and take and choose the best photos. A big thanks also goes to Ms. Kaitlyn, always present with her camera, who played a key role in documenting the year, helping us to take any pictures we were missing.
This year’s edition includes pictures from every corner of school life: clubs, excursions, on-campus events, sports, classes and dorm life. The goal was to make sure everyone is represented. Whether you were in five clubs or just showed up for a few bigger events, whether you lived in dorms or off-campus, there’s something in here that reflects your experience.
Years from now, flipping through those pages will bring back memories you didn’t even know you missed.
As Celia, a 10th grader, said, “I think the yearbook is important because it captures the little moments—not just the big events, but the random fun things that made this year special.”
