Yearbooks and Senior Ads: The only way to guarantee you receive a yearbook in May is to purchase your copy by January 31st. This is also the deadline to purchase a Senior Ad for the yearbook or to purchase a nameplate. After that date, we cannot guarantee that we will have enough copies of the yearbook or that we will have space for your Senior Ad. Nameplates will no longer be available for purchase after that date. Get yours today: https://yearbookordercenter.com/ Use our order number 7631. You can also check to see if you’ve already purchased a yearbook at this site.
Vintage yearbooks are available to purchase for only $5 each! There are many past years to choose from (dates from 1953 to 2018). These make great gifts and are so fun to look at! These books are in various conditions. They’ve been stored, moved, and some were previously owned and donated back to us. You are able to look at the condition before paying for them. Call Karen at 209-691-9858 to check if yours is in stock.
