Union Mine High School

From Susan Sager, Yearbook Advisor:

Each year I have been blessed to watch my yearbook kids rise to such a high level of hard work, ethical behavior, design knowledge, problem solving, critical thinking and growing as a family.  This past year was no exception.  Our high school is unique in that our yearbooks are totally student created – from theme, to cover, to spreads and layouts, photos and text.  We don’t use professional photographers for our sports photos, we don’t use pre-packaged theme ideas or use the yearbook artists to design our cover.  Each year it seems like a miracle that we get it done by mid-March but whew….we seem to with grace and dignity and quite a lot of early mornings and late nights!

Congratulations to last year’s book for the following:

• The 2015-2016 edition of The Rattler earned a First Place Award from the American Scholastic Press Association for our overall book, but earned special recognition for Content Presentation, Creativity, Photography and General Page Design!
• We just were notified that our 2015-2016 Rattler earned another National Yearbook Award from Jostens!  This is a highly coveted award that selects only the Best-of-The-Best from around the country to be included in their annual publication of the Look Book!
  • Our overall book design and layout was honored by being included in the Look-Book publication
  • We were earned a special highlight for one special photo in particular – taken by our very own Lucia Carluccio!
  • See attachments above!!!
