The goal of our Yearbook is to focus on people's individuality and make it as personalized as possible. Even in the midst of a pandemic five years ago now, our yearbook produced the best yearbook we can that represents the CV Community, the High School and the students of Castro Valley.  While Castro Valley High School is a large high school with almost 3,000 students, we hope to make the community feel just a bit closer. 

What is remarkable about a town/city like Castro Valley is it is a small town feel but with so much going on and happening. The yearbook staff works diligent to document just that: memories from every club, every athletic group, every drama, every musical, every committee, every classroom.... we are all a part of "In trojan togetherness, peace."

The Yearbook is one of the few activities that lasts beyond just the school year. This year is no different, we have an amazing staff putting our book together. We will be hard at work by attending sporting events, taking photos, talking with people, and telling the story of all but especially this year's graduating class! We can't wait to show off the fruit of our labor this coming spring!

If you are interested in adding your photos to the yearbook, please contact the Palladium Yearbook at: CastroValleyYearbook@gmail.com or jporter@cv.k12.ca.us.  We will have a link to share photos this year to be determined. :)

Here is a copy of the Yearbook Syllabus and Application, if you want to know more about what Yearbook is all about. Applications will be emailed out as a Google Form by counselors or the advisor/editors at request. 

We also use yearbookavenue.jostens.com for all our Yearbook designing and putting together our book. Our hope is to expand our designing in Adobe InDesign as yearbook grows as a program. 

Yearbook focuses on skills like creative writing, photography, Design, journalism, marketing and more!!

This coming school year 2025-2026 we have exceeded applications and have 31 new yearbook staff and 3 returning editors! 

We are working hard to hear the stories of our students, staff, clubs, groups and classes that are unseen here at CVHS. Hoping to give everyone a place to look back on and remember there time here. Through not only the story of those plastered around school but the stories of those who play a minor part in events but make all the difference if not more! 

We want to highlight and tell stories of the numerous events this year and make this a "For the Record" year and yearbook.. 

Our staff and editor team puts all their passion into your book. Hope you enjoy!  Please follow us on our social media @yearbookcvhs on Instagram to catch ways to be involved, reminders and sneak peaks as we begin this next school year.
