Yearbook staff busy at HJH

According to HJH Yearbook sponsor Mrs. Holly Pipkin, yearbook staff members have put in a lot of time on this year’s yearbook. Now that the yearbook is printed in all color, members have fun creating color-filled pages of events that have happened throughout the year. To be a member of the staff, students must maintain a “C” average as well as have excellent conduct in all classes. Members are also required to sell advertisements to local businesses, which helps fund the cost of the yearbook. The entire staff is anxiously awaiting the yearbook’s arrival in May.

HJH Yearbook staff members are Maggie Herron, Taylor Killen, Ross Houghton, Hayley Moore, Adeana Murphy, Cameron Rayner, LaDawn Ammons, Jasmine Taylor, Kaayla, Cunningham, Katie Lewis, Logan Duncan, Katora Holmes, Ciera Woods, Noryani Perez and Kenya Ector.
