Good Hope Middle School Earns Jostens National Yearbook Design Recognition

Good Hope Middle School’s yearbook, Allegiance, has been recognized for excellence and featured in the Jostens Look Book 2024, celebrating the best-of-the-best in yearbook design and inclusivity. The Jostens Look Book is a collection of outstanding yearbooks and their creative themes, cool covers, beautiful designs, relevant coverage of school events, meaningful storytelling, and stunning photography. Along with design excellence, the annually published Look Book honors the work of the students who created the yearbook over the course of 6-12 months. Through it, they chronicle the experiences, stories, and achievements most relevant to students and that academic year. 

The Allegiance was created by staff members: Julie Ezell, Brylin Florentine, Ashtyn Meggs, Elly Semmes, and Abigail Williams under the direction of Sonya Hogg, Good Hope Middle School yearbook adviser. 

"It is a great honor to be recognized nationally by Jostens for the past five years. The yearbook is a great responsibility for middle school students, and I am proud of the hard work they put into the book to meet deadlines, meet sales expectations, and put together a book worthy of national recognition!” 

The Good Hope Middle School Allegiance was one of only 480 yearbooks selected from nearly one thousand yearbooks submitted. The 2024 panel of judges, comprised of nationally recognized scholastic journalism professionals and award-winning yearbook advisers, selected the best examples of yearbook spreads and covers to make up the 320-page Look Book 2024. 

“The Jostens Look Book showcases the hard work and dedication of students who tell the story of the school year through photos and words. It is their collaboration and communication, as well as creative thinking in challenging situations, that results in the fine designs shown in this book,” said Kristen Scott, Yearbook Marketing Manager at Jostens. “We are very proud to celebrate the ability of this country’s future leaders and communicators by showcasing their sophisticated designs and photography.” 

Sonya Hogg and her yearbook staff received a copy of the Jostens Look Book 2024 with a plaque and banner from Jostens to recognize their outstanding achievement.  

  

The Jostens Look Book is rated as the #1 resource by Jostens yearbook advisers and staffs seeking creative design and coverage ideas, trends and inspiration. The Look Book complements www.YearbookAvenue.com and www.facebook.com/JostensAdviserandStaff, Jostens online destinations for yearbook creation ideas.
