The Trevilian is Wade Hampton's award-winning student yearbook that serves as a pictorial and written history for each school year. The staff is composed of students who are dedicated to scholastic journalism and outstanding photography. Being a part of the staff is both a fun and hard-working experience, yet rewarding nonetheless. It is not a “free” course where a “100” is given by simply being in attendance. It is a course that demands diligence, hard work, and the ability to cooperate with other students to produce a yearbook - all the while being a student who is self-motivated. The staff of The Trevilian serves as the historians of Wade Hampton. Each position on the staff is not to be taken lightly.
