Editors-in-Chief Stella Proudfit and Alana Ramirez created the Pinnacle yearbook under the direction of Jan Lemon-Saquella, Red Mountain High School yearbook adviser.
“This just further confirms how amazing our 2017 yearbook really was,” Jan said. “I am so proud of my students who are so deserving of this recognition.”
The Red Mountain High School Pinnacle yearbook was one of only 413 yearbooks selected from approximately 2,000 entries. The 2018 panel of judges, comprised of nationally recognized scholastic journalism professionals and award-winning yearbook advisers, selected the best examples of yearbook spreads and covers to make up the 304-page 2018 Look Book.
“The Jostens Look Book showcases the hard work and dedication of students who tell the story of the school year through photos and words,” said Senior Manager of Customer Experience Sara Sausker. “It is their collaboration and communication, as well as creative thinking in challenging situations, that result in the fine designs shown in this book. We are very proud to celebrate the ability of this country’s future leaders and communicators by showcasing their sophisticated designs and photography.”
Jan and her yearbook staff received a copy of the 2018 Jostens Look Book and certificate from Jostens to recognize their outstanding achievement.
