duPont Manual High – Yearbook Production

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Yearbook is both an elective course and extracurricular activity for high achieving, self-motivated students who seek to continue the yearbook’s national award-winning achievements. Students participate in an application and interview procedure, and once accepted, they can apply for a variety of positions from business manager to editor-in-chief. It operates as a real business that gives students practical experience in print media and marketing. Students compose, construct, and edit all elements of the book, including writing copy, taking photos, and designing pages. In addition, students perform clerical operations, sell advertising, conduct interviews, and poll students. After-school time is required from each student on Wednesdays. Students attend a summer retreat and bootcamp, as well as summer planning meetings. J&C students are prioritized, but all magnet students are considered.
