The yearbook is a workshop course designed to produce the St. Lucy’s LUMEN. The yearbook is student-produced with facilitation provided by an advisor and publisher. Students cultivate practices in page planning, color theory, copy writing, photography, editing, and layout techniques. Students must be in the 11th and 12th grades. Prerequisite: Minimum GPA of 2.5 and an interview process including teacher recommendation. A letter grade is earned in this class.
