Honor a 2022 SHS graduate with a recognition ad in the Siuslaw Yearbook! Make the yearbook even more special for one of our senior students. A yearbook ad is a loving tribute to a high school graduate/senior and can be personalized with your own sentimental message and a cherished photo or photo collage. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’ll last forever. Create the advertisement yourself or let our yearbook staff do it for you--just provide the message and photos you would like included. A quarter-page ad is $125, a half-page ad is $225, and a full-page ad is $400. Email siuslaw.yearbook@gmail.com if you have any questions.
