Everyone sees the yearbook, but who makes sure it gets done behind the scenes?
As Editors-in-chief, seniors Keziah Thibodeau and Kalie Fletcher take a lot of photos, come up with ideas for designs, and look over other people’s articles and pages.
To put together a page, it takes a lot of work, and one of the most important parts of the page is to figure out what people would want to see, and then to figure out who to take photos of for the yearbook.
Making sure the yearbook represents the whole school is challenging because all of the sports, clubs, dances, and different events throughout the year must be covered, as well as making sure the students’ voices are heard. “We do our best to represent the whole school by including as many different activities and events as possible to try to incorporate all different kinds of people in our book.” Kailey Fletcher said
The yearbook is meant to be a keepsake for students to look back on the memories they made in high school.
“My favorite memory working on the yearbook was going to this year’s editor camp over the summer at PLNU because I got to work with my best friends Keziah Thibodeau, Katelyn Wellman, and Emma Lee,” Fletcher said.
In the spring, editors are slammed with deadlines and trying to get the book out to the students while coming up with fresh designs without repeating designs or ideas from past years.
Fletcher believes the team was able to make a lot of good progress on developing the theme of the yearbook and the graphic design for this year.
Many of the editors have been in the yearbook their whole high school lives.
Being an editor for the yearbook is very good for college applications because of the leadership and work experience editors gain, and Fletcher and Thibodeau said they have both enjoyed being in the yearbook after all of these years.
The 2026 yearbook will be distributed starting May 27, 2026
