Invictus is Chanel’s yearbook. Distributed in early fall to all students, our yearbook is hardback and in full color. Since Chanel charges no fees beyond tuition, the yearbook is included in a student’s tuition. Invictus is produced by Josten’s, which utilizes an online website for the creation of the entire book, making our staff’s work both professional and enjoyable. Seniors are encouraged to have their picture taken by the photographer of their choice, as long as we receive a wallet-sized glossy by February 15. Senior pictures must be head shots. No hats are allowed, and no facial hair or earrings are allowed on the men. Dress must be tasteful and appropriate. Any questions? Contact Jenny Miroglotta, yearbook moderator.

“In many ways, the yearbook is the ultimate outcome-based educational experience. Research supports the value of working on high school publications. A study of 4,789 students, published in 1987, reveals high school students with publication experience:
• Scored higher in cumulative freshman college grade average.
• Scored higher in their first collegiate English course.
• Had higher ACT composite scores.
• Had higher ACT English scores.
• Had higher social studies scores.”
