YEARBOOK NEWS
Granger Families,
I’ve received a few questions about the yearbook, so I wanted to send out some information to help make the ordering process easier! Our Granger Yearbook covers students from Pre-K through Seniors! Even though our students are separated into different campuses, we make sure to include and celebrate all of our Little Lions throughout the yearbook.
Another question I’ve received is how to find the correct page to order the yearbook. When searching for our school on the Jostens website, you will need to search for Granger High School in order to find our yearbook site.
I will attach the link to our yearbook page below to make ordering as easy as possible!
Thank you for your support of our yearbook program and for helping us capture the memories of all of our Granger students!
