Yearbooks on Sale!

Click on the flyer below or go to jostens.com to place your order. Students may also purchase a yearbook at school with cash for check for the exact amount of the yearbook (go to website for cost information). The money must be given DIRECTLY to Ms. Gillespie or Ms. Teel. Yearbook pricing increases over time. Ordering right away will ensure the lowest price of the year.


Students are not guaranteed a yearbook unless purchased prior to April 1. We will NOT be selling yearbooks this year prior to distribution day. This means that if a student waits until the yearbook comes out to purchase, they will not be able to participate in yearbook signing day. We will sell any extra yearbooks TWO days after everyone who pre-ordered receives theirs in order to make sure all the orders are filled appropriately.

New 9-8-8 Service in Georgia

9-8-8 is a direct line to trained National Suicide Prevention Lifeline counselors. It will open the door for millions of Americans to seek the help they need while sending the message to the country that healing, hope, and help are happening every day. With an easy-to-remember and dial number like 9-8-8, Lifeline hopes to reach many more people in emotional crisis. Some of 9-8-8’s key features include:

  • Connecting a person in a mental health crisis to a trained counselor, who can address their immediate needs and help connect them to ongoing care.

  • Reducing healthcare spending with more cost-effective early intervention.

  • Reducing the use of law enforcement, public health, and other safety resources.

  • Meeting the growing need for crisis intervention.

  • Helping end stigma toward those seeking or accessing mental healthcare.
