Wells 2026 yearbook celebrates return of middle school
by Alondra Gallegos and Hailey Spears
This year's yearbook celebrates the first year that Wells has been all middle school (sixth, seventh, and eighth grades) since 2022.
The yearbook student staff and media/yearbook teacher Kirk McAnany created all 60 pages. This will be Mr. McAnany's sixth yearbook for Wells.
"If I say this honestly, my favorite page would be the yearbook staff page," Mr. McAnany said. "I always do that page and put it on Page 2. So after people see the title/theme page, the first thing they'll see when they turn the page is the picture of the yearbook staff.
"I’m proud of how we handled the theme and the graphic treatment this year" he said. "The theme “The trio is back” is very cool, and the graffiti graphic treatment we gave to it is also cool.
"A lot of things happened over the course of the school year," Mr. McAnany said. "We document and put them in a book that people will want to hold on to for many years. They can look at that decades later when they want to remember someone who went to middle school with them. They'll still have those pictures from 2026, remember what they did and talk about it, laugh about it. That’s why people buy the book.”
The deadline for online sales will be at the end of April. But otherwise yearbooks can be purchased from the front office until they're sold out. As of March 12, 40 percent of inventory had been sold. Cost is $35.
