Although this class is an elective, it requires dedication and hard work. Being on staff is a privilege and a commitment. Once students are accepted and school begins, students will not be able to drop the class at mid term unless the sponsor or principal initiates the change. Staffers must provide their own digital camera (a cell phone is not sufficient for yearbook).
