The publications were sorted into four divisions: High schools with more than 1,000 students, high schools with fewer than 1,000 students, middle schools, and elementary schools.
Yearbooks were evaluated on the following criteria: theme/theme development, design, continuity, photography, writing, creativity content, and coverage.
“The books reflect hours of hard work by the staffs and advisers,” said Laura Schaub, Lifetouch yearbook education specialist and contest coordinator. “These books are some of the best elementary and secondary books in the nation.”
Kevin Daniels puts together the Roosevelt Yearbook and fifth grade students come up with the theme and compete to draw the cover. Last year’s cover winner was Bailey Stanley. The 2017 cover was created by Lakyn Zimmerman.
