YEARBOOK - the class

Simply said, digital communication involves an student communication efforts. The Digital Communication program prepares students to gather, process, and deliver news through a variety of print and online formats, including newspapers, magazines, journals, annual publications, weblogs (blogs), and other traditional and new media platforms. At PHS, our channels involve documenting the year's activities by photographing and writing about them in the yearbook. Beyond high school, digital communications professionals are responsible for everything from creating online brand assets to building an engaged social media audience.

Students learn and practice valuable skills using real-world computer hardware and news-gathering equipment as well as industry-standard image editing, graphic design, and page layout software to create professional-grade media products.
