Yearbook

The Yearbook class will be producing a full-color yearbook containing more than 300 pages using Jostens Yearbook Avenue and the Adobe Creative Suite. The yearbook features each grade, sports team, fine arts group, the staff, and more. It also highlights every day and important events from the school year. Being on the yearbook staff involves writing and interviewing, photography, and photo editing, coming up with theme and coverage ideas, learning design and computer skills, and more. Students will also learn time management and organizational skills, communication skills, and budgeting and marketing skills. The yearbook becomes a valuable part of NRCA history!
