Principal Jason Lane praised the work and creativity of the students and staff who produced this year’s yearbook.

“Each yearbook is a treasured memento of high school; however, this year’s publication was special,” he said. “The yearbook staff and sponsors did an outstanding job of capturing those meaningful moments that occurred throughout the year that were essential to the story of our students and school.”
