And here’s the crazy part: the books aren’t even here yet! They’re hot off the presses and headed our way, with copies expected before the end of September. We’ve already received an award before our students have even held the finished book!
“Nothing” was judged on theme development, journalism, photography, and overall visual design, and our students knocked it out of the park!
Fewer than 5% of yearbooks nationwide receive this Gallery of Excellence recognition. Selected books are used as teaching tools at workshops and conventions and featured in Walsworth publications to inspire other yearbook staff across the country.
What started as “Nothing” became something pretty incredible, and we can't wait for you to see it!
Congratulations to our 2026 yearbook staff! We are SO proud of you! 💙💛
SHS does not have any way to order the pictures for you, so please make sure to talk to your student if you didn't receive one or the other.
Retakes are September 29th.

About 2026-2027 Best High Schools:
The 2026-2027 edition of Best High Schools includes a numerical ranking of nearly all public high schools nationwide – almost 18,000 of them – based on multiple sources of objective data.
There are rankings within each state and within each census-designated metropolitan area that has three or more public high schools, as well as the Best STEM Schools ranking and comprehensive Best Charter Schools rankings.
Includes rankings of high schools within each school district that has three or more public high schools.
Your school’s U.S. News profile page includes information on enrollment, graduation rates, student body demographics, location, school type, state assessments results and Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests.
Best High Schools rankings, available online only, are produced with RTI International, a global research firm. U.S. News doesn’t collect data directly from high schools; all data comes directly from official third-party sources.
AP and IB data come directly from the College Board and International Baccalaureate, for use in the rankings.
The state assessment data and graduation rates are from each state, and other data comes from the U.S. Department of Education Common Core of Data.
