Throughout the year the book is submitted to the publisher in signatures, pages grouped together, and our last deadline is late February. The pages are designed from scratch via an online program from Jostens so the complete product is true representation of the editors’ creative skills. Their goal is to create the best product possible for the school and to have all students and organizations represented.
