The course sees the development of each year’s yearbook as documenting the history of the school. There is a focus on celebrating student’s experiences at CMS and accurately representing the life of the school. Each yearbook has color throughout, but the written content is also a strong component. Lastly, we are always looking for new facets to add; this year past year we introduced QR codes.
Our yearbook is a work of art, as well as a piece of CMS history. The life of our school and our past is documented through this class.
