TRHS Earns Jostens National Yearbook Design Recognition

(5/23/2012 / TRHS Press Release)

Travelers Rest – May 23 – Travelers Rest High School’s yearbook, The Traveler, has been recognized for excellence and featured in the 2012 Gotcha Covered Look Book, Volume 10, celebrating the best-of-the-best in yearbook design and creation. Jostens’ Look Book is a collection of spreads and photos from outstanding yearbooks and their creative themes, cool covers, dazzling designs, relevant coverage, storytelling copy and action-packed photography. Along with design excellence, the annually published Look Book honors the important role well-crafted yearbooks play in helping schools chronicle the experiences, stories and achievements most relevant to students and that academic year.

The Traveler was created by 15 Travelers Rest High School students under the direction of Mr. Jonathan Duty, Travelers Rest High School yearbook adviser. “I am extremely proud of the work the students have done,” Duty said. “They have worked so hard to make The Traveler an award-winning yearbook. This was a goal that we have had for several years, and it was amazing to see them reach that goal.”

Travelers Rest High School’s The Traveler was one of only 400 yearbooks selected from approximately 3,000. The 2012 panel of judges, comprised of nationally recognized scholastic journalism professionals and award-winning yearbook advisers selected the best examples of yearbook spreads and photos to make up the 288-page 2012 Look Book.

“Yearbooks are unique, limited edition books created by students to capture the stories and events for all of the school’s students and Jostens is proud to celebrate the yearbook tradition and the 400 yearbooks selected for the 2012 Gotcha Covered Look Book, Volume 10,” said Gary Lundgren, Jostens senior program manager/education. “We are passionate about helping schools create yearbooks that include the entire school community. The yearbooks selected for the Jostens 2012 Look Book reflect the sophistication and relevance of yearbook programs.”

Duty and his yearbook staff received a copy of Jostens’ 2012 Gotcha Covered Look Book and plaque from Jostens to recognize their outstanding achievement.

Alive at 25 Information

(2/14/2012 / TRHS Administration)

TRHS will add a new program designed to teach students safe driving practices. The program is called Alive at 25, and completion of the program will be required for any student that parks on campus beginning in the 2012-2013 school year. Statistics show that car crashes are the number one cause of death for young people between the ages of 15 and 24.  Travelers Rest High School is committed to keeping our students safe behind the wheel. 

Alive at 25 is an early intervention program developed by the National Safety Council to prevent traffic violations, collisions, and fatalities.  It is a 4 ½ hour defensive driving course that addresses the dangers of speeding, failure to use seatbelts, using cell phones while driving, eating while driving, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and more.  It focuses on the behaviors that young drivers exhibit behind the wheel, and allows the student to recognize the consequences of those actions.
