Student Publication - The Cutlass Yearbook

Overview

The Cutlass Yearbook

Front cover of Cutlass 2024 Yearbook "It's Showtime"

The Cutlass—named for a Marauder’s sword—is Jesuit High School’s yearbook, published annually and distributed free to all students and staff. Now in its 61st volume, the Cutlass has grown into a top-notch digitally-designed publication, using cutting-edge graphic design software from Adobe and Jostens. Students work with real-world deadlines, follow to-do lists, email students and staff, and go to school events to photograph them. Working during 3 classes a week, as well as at home and on campus over the weekend, the Cutlass staff is always able to make the book an amazing addition to the archive. Receiving the award-winning Cutlass is something that all Jesuit students and staff look forward to each year.

How do I get a yearbook?
They are FREE!

Lots of people think that there are many steps to getting a yearbook, and in many cases, they are correct. However, at Jesuit High School, the book’s cost is covered in your tuition, so every student already gets a book. 

When the books arrive in May, all students will receive a notice via their student email, the PA system, the student-only Cutlass website, and the school website with information about our distribution event!

Last summer—and for the first time ever—we submitted Jesuit’s yearbook, the 2019 Cutlass, for consideration of special recognition by the American Scholastic Press Association. We learned today that we received a “First Place” award, with especially high marks for general photography, publication structure, and creativity.
