The time to preorder a yearbook for $50 has passed, but that doesn't mean you can't still reserve a copy of this year's annual. Starting March 31, yearbooks may be purchased in the General Office for $60. We have 100 books on the reserved list, and they are on a first-come, first-served basis. Prepaying for the book now guarantees you a yearbook in May. Act quickly, you do not want to miss out on this great opportunity!
