Students are 100% responsible for all content and quality of the yearbook. Grades are determined by each student’s ability to meet photography and page deadlines, while editing the book for correctness and esthetic value. Students must produce quality work and be able to handle the pressure of meeting various deadlines. Students are required to attend multiple events outside of regular school hours and are responsible for their own means of transportation. Students must have an ‘A’ average in English, and receive teacher approval, before being added to the class.
