Tabula Yearbook

Each year, Student Staff writers, photographers, and designers put together Tabula, our award-winning yearbook. Tabula is offered as a full-year course. Student Staff can get a Fine Arts, Applied Art, or English Elective credit for the class.

Tabula traditionally stops coverage in the spring, in order to get the books printed for distribution in May.  Spring events, sports, and performances appear in the following year's Tabula. You can purchase any photos directly through VIP by clicking here.

To be a Tabula Staff member.

You must complete an application prior to being accepted onto Tabula.
