Lair is the state and national award-winning yearbook staff, made up of students across all grade and experience levels. The staff applies principles of publishing and photojournalism to produce the school's yearbook. Staff members become familiar with the process of planning, layout, copywriting, editing, photography, and production. Together we publish a yearbook from start to finish. Students improve their communication skills by conducting interviews, writing, and practicing constructive critique strategies with fellow staffers. The students master various computer programs including but not limited to Microsoft Word, Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Yearbook Ave. Each student will learn the basics of photography and photojournalism including the different aspects of digital imaging. Throughout the year, each student works cooperatively with others, learning the financial aspects of publication and using problem-solving skills when obstacles hinder the goal.
