Hello EHS families!
Now is the best time to order a yearbook. Prices are the lowest they'll ever be! After January 1, the price increases from $55 to $60, so make sure to pre-order your yearbook now. Pre-ordering a yearbook now ensures that your student will receive a book when the books deliver in the fall.
In addition, if you have a senior, make sure to reserve your space now for a senior ad. These are tribute ads in the back of the book where you can include a photo and message to your graduate. You can either create your ad on your own through the yearbook order center, or you can email the photos and message to courtney.lowe@district140.org
If you're unsure whether or not you've already ordered, you can check your order through https://yearbookordercenter.com/ , school code 8180. This is also where you can order a yearbook!
Please contact Courtney Lowe with any questions.
