Yearbook Purchasing
Yearbook: Senior Ads
SENIOR RECOGNITION ADS
Some parents like to recognize their senior with a special message and pictures of their choosing. These are called senior recognition ads and there are two ways for you to purchase one.
Design Yourself on Jostens.com
Due by May 5, 2022
This will allow you to design your own ad digitally from home, with pictures and your message. The ad will automatically be placed in our book after you have paid for it. The yearbook staff will even be able to see it designed on their layouts in the ad section before the book goes to print. Payment is also made directly to Jostens.

Michigan's FAFSA Priority Deadline is Extended
May 1
The Michigan Department of Treasury recently announced the state's FAFSA priority deadline will be extended to May 1. Previously, Michigan's FAFSA priority deadline was March 1. The deadline extension means students will have more time to complete the FAFSA and maintain full eligibility for state financial aid, including priority consideration for the Michigan Competitive Scholarship and Michigan Tuition Grant.
