Gainesville High School Yearbook
Yearbook is journalistic in nature and allows students to
participate in the production of the school yearbook. Students in this course
are required to learn layout design; write and fit copy, captions, and
headlines; sell advertisements; learn basic photography skills; and should be
proficient on a computer. Individual responsibility is essential toward
completion of assignments for deadlines. Students will also have the
opportunity to accept leadership positions and develop new skills as they build
the yearbook. To register for this course, students must sign up for both first
and second semesters.
