Hello from the SWVHS Yearbook Staff!
Welcome to the yearbook website!
We submitted the 2025 yearbook this summer and are excitedly working on developing a theme for the 2025 - 2026 yearbook. We cannot wait to capture memories of your kids as school and extracurricular events start up soon. The yearbook we are currently working on will be completed in June 2026 to ensure the inclusion of summer sports/activities. Distribution of 2025 yearbooks will be in Fall 2025. 2025 Seniors, please make sure to arrange for someone to pick up your yearbooks! Every senior is getting one due to the senior parent after prom funds!
Yearbook prices do continue to increase because of prices rising at Jostens. We were told that inflation, the economy, and tariffs are contributing to these increases. We have to be able to cover these prices to be able to have a printed yearbook every year. I encourage everyone who is wanting a yearbook for this upcoming school year to pre-order early before the price increases. They can be ordered online or you can send a check to the school (SWVHS Yearbook). During our Back To School Sale, yearbooks are $60. This sale ends in September, but I might see if we can extend it until October. After that, prices will go up to $65 and then up to $70 before the end of the school year.
-- Yearbook Staff and Ms. Tripp
