 * Mission Statement: ** Beaufort Academy is an independent school designed to instill in students the intellectual curiosity and strength of character for success in college and beyond. The school is committed to developing the whole person within the framework of its core values and the Judeo-Christian tradition. Beaufort Academy seeks to inspire in each student a sense of one’s responsibility to one’s self, the community and the environment, and to build in each student the capacity to become a positive contributor and leader in an increasingly interconnected world.

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the production of a school yearbook. Students will work together to produce all aspects of the yearbook publication, including copy and caption writing, photographic composition, layout design, peer editing, deadline preparation, budgeting, marketing, and fundraising.
