This year-long course for 8th grade students will produce the yearbook that captures the life of Euclid Middle School. This hands-on course will help you develop skills in digital photography, copywriting, proofing, editing, and graphic design. Students will work collaboratively to develop the yearbook’s theme, cover and layout design. This course requires enthusiasm, creativity, a dedication to the production of the yearbook and a strong sense of responsibility. In addition, students must be willing to attend various events before and after school.
The Euclid Middle School yearbook is called Elements. The name is a reference to Euclid’s manuscript about geometry. For the past three years, Euclid's yearbook has earned an "All Colorado" rating from the Colorado Student Media Association. Euclid students routinely win individual awards for photography, design, writing, and theme.
