Student Publication - The Cutlass Yearbook
The Cutlass Yearbook
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 the most 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.

Award Winning Yearbook!
Congrats to 2019 Cutlass staff for first place award
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.
