The 2025-26 school year may be coming to an end but the memories made throughout last far beyond graduation. From spirit weeks to pep rallies, to sports victories, performances and everyday moments between friends, this year’s FVHS yearbook is set to capture it all in one place.
Throughout the school year, members of the yearbook staff attended events across campus, collected photographs, interviewed students and worked on layouts to create a publication that reflects student life at FVHS. The process of yearbook takes months of planning, editing and organization as staff members work to include students from different grade levels, sports teams, clubs and activities.
“We start with a blank book, 240 pages that need to be created. A lot of students come in not knowing how to interview, take photos or design pages, so there’s a huge amount of learning and effort that goes into making the final product,” said Stanley Hsu, English teacher and the advisor of the yearbook.
The yearbook includes coverage of many important events from throughout the year, including sports games, school dances, performances, Student Council events and spirit weeks. Students often look forward to seeing familiar faces, memorable moments and activities they participated in throughout the school year. The publication also serves as a way for students to reflect on how much has changed over the past year and remember experiences shared with friends and classmates.
According to the school’s yearbook sale page, only 54 copies remain available for purchase, with prices starting at $115. As it begins to come to an end, students who still want a copy are encouraged to purchase one before they officially sell out because many students view it as something they will keep for years after graduation.
“Because the yearbook is only created once each year, we want it to be something students can look back on years later. When they open it in 10 or 20 years, I want them to remember the people, experiences and moments that made FVHS special,” said Hsu.
Beyond the photos and page designs, the yearbook holds the moments students spend the entire year creating. Whether it’s finding yourself in a random picture, remembering a football game, or reading messages from friends, the yearbook gives students something they can look back on long after the school year ends.
“The hardest part is keeping staff motivated. Students spend hours at events and then even more time putting pages together afterward. Sometimes they have to redo things or go back out to interview again, but in the end, we want the book to be something students are proud of,” said Hsu.
