The Upper St. Clair yearbook staff is one of the most unique and diverse clubs the high school has to offer. Meeting once a week after school on Thursdays, in addition to the occasional in-school field trip, the yearbook staff is always busy working on each year’s book.

The yearbook meetings start off with the week’s agenda read off by Vice President and teacher sponsor, Señorita Krakosky, a spanish teacher in the building. After the agenda is read off, students start on their tasks for the next two hours.

Tasks can range anywhere from going around the school taking pictures, writing copy, inserting photos into the page layout, or writing captions and naming faces for the index.

The procedure that goes into designing every page is very extensive and requires a lot of work. Thanks to new and updated technology, though, students can access the entire yearbook online and do all editing on computers in the computer labs across from the science classrooms on the second floor.

‘“I think the students should know how long of a process and how much work we actually put in. […] We start the yearbook in September and don’t finish until May,” says senior Editor-in-Chief Annie Cavrich. “My favorite part is being able to see the finished product in book form at the end of the year and seeing all of our hard work come together.”

The yearbook staff will continue working on our school’s yearbook up until May, when the finished product is ordered and distributed to the students.
