Fiction, nonfiction and poetry of a personal, humorous or satirical nature are encouraged, but all pieces will receive consideration. While writing and artwork will be accepted from all contributing individuals, an editorial staff will make the final decisions regarding materials and format. The English and Art Departments are encouraged to promote submissions from students. Meetings will be held weekly.
Yearbook: Tides

The objective of the yearbook staff is to produce a comprehensive record of the people, events and activities of the school year in the form of a published yearbook.

Good business skills and practices are also developed through book and advertising sales and budget and accounting processes.
While the Yearbook is offered as part of the curriculum (elective) and meets daily during both semesters, extensive time is require outside the class hours to fulfill the yearbook responsibilities.
