Hello Trent Grads of 2020 This is an update on the status of the 2019-20 yearbooks. I’m sorry we haven’t been able to give you an update earlier. Things have been changing so much and so frequently over the last few months that it’s been difficult to finalize plans for how or when to distribute your yearbooks. And unfortunately, those plans are still up in the air. The 2019-20yearbooks have not been printed yet.
