If you are looking for older school yearbooks online, these are generally available in two ways. Yearbooks may be available in PDF format which you can view and print from your computer, or you may be able to find an old print copy for sale from an online reseller.
For finding current high school yearbooks online, ask at the school office if you can order online. You may need to obtain a student ID number and a school code before you place your order. Yearbooks can be customized with the student's name, as well as icons that reflect the student's activities and interests.
