Clay named Jostens National Yearbook Program of Excellence

        Jostens, the leading producer of yearbooks and student-created content, announced in October that Clay High School’s yearbook program has been named a 2019 Jostens’ National Yearbook Program of Excellence.
        The distinction recognizes yearbooks that reflect a broad representation of the student body while helping students develop 21st-century skills such as communication, collaboration and information and communication technologies (ICT) literacy.
        Jostens’ National Yearbook Program of Excellence Awards are presented twice a year, in spring and fall, for yearbooks delivered during the school year. The award was presented to the Clay yearbook program for achieving the defined criteria in each of three following categories – creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement and successfully managing the yearbook creation process.
        “Jostens is proud to recognize those individuals who have acted as wonderful stewards by creating an exceptional yearbook for their school and community,” said Tammy Whitaker, Jostens VP and COO of the Yearbook Division. “Yearbooks are a critical part of telling a school’s story, and Jostens is dedicated to supporting yearbook staff members with state-of-the-art tools and resources that help celebrate moments that matter.”
        The Clay High School yearbook program, under the direction of yearbook advisor Lisa Joseph, will receive a gem-studded recognition pin and a banner to display in school, so the entire school community will be aware of the outstanding achievement.
        Founded in 1897, Jostens has produced school yearbooks for over 60 years.
