Deadline Extended to Order Yearbook Online
.
The GCM yearbook staff is unable to accept orders by cash or check at this time. So we've decided to extend the deadline for ordering a yearbook online.
Please visit the Yearbook Order Center any time from now until June 1 to purchase a copy by credit card. But hurry! We only have about 100 yearbooks left to sell.
Across the country, schools and businesses are shut down due to COVID-19, but Marshall High School's award-winning yearbook staff remains committed to completing the 2020 edition and ensuring that the memories of this unusual school year are not forgotten.
From Homecoming to the abbreviated spring sports season, physical classrooms to online learning, Marshall's photojournalism students continue to document everything that has made 2020 "A little new. A little now. A lot of WOW."
As soon as distribution is safe and logistically feasible, we will do what it takes to get this book into students' hands! It may take a little longer than usual for this year's book to be shipped, but the yearbook staff can't wait to show it to the Marshall High School family once they've got it.
Click HERE to place an online order.
Thank you for supporting our school's student journalism program. If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected].
