You must pre order a yearbook on line @ www.yearbookordercenter.com. Yearbooks are $55.00 and there is a mailing to your home option—we do not order extra yearbooks. The yearbook covers the entire school year and is a lasting memory. Don’t miss out. Go to www.yearbookordercenter.com And use the code 3735. Again—ALL YEARBOOKS ARE PRE ORDERED! There will not be extra yearbooks to purchase next fall. Period.
