Yearbook Information

As the school year is underway, so is the 2025-2026 Yearbook! As we know, many parents like to purchase a yearbook, we wanted to make you aware that sales for the 2025-2026 yearbook are now live. As of now, yearbooks are $70.00, and prices will increase on 10/1/2025 and again on 2/28/2026. We wanted to make sure seniors/parents/guardians know and get their books purchased early at the discounted price. Last year, the books sold out, and some people were not able to purchase a book, so the earlier you buy, the better!
