Goleta, Ca – May 1st 2025 – Dos Pueblos High School yearbook, The Image, has been selected for excellence and featured in the Jostens Book Bundle. The Jostens Book Bundle is an annual collection of outstanding yearbooks selected for their creative themes, cool covers, beautiful designs, relevant coverage of school events, meaningful storytelling, and stunning photography.
The Image was led by co-editor-in-chief’s Amelia Vander May and Sienna Valentine, under the guidance of John Dent, Dos Pueblos yearbook adviser.
“We had an incredible year, led by one of the strongest leadership teams ever. Six of our seniors have been in yearbook all four years of high school, and together with the largest yearbook team DP has ever had, they created a spectacular chronicle of the year. The 2025 book hasn’t even come out yet, and we’re already so proud of what we accomplished. We can’t wait for the school to see it—it’s truly something special.”
The Dos Pueblos High School book, The Image, was one of only eleven yearbooks selected from thousands nationwide.
“The Jostens Book Bundle provides an opportunity for schools across the country to build a library of inspirational work,” said Kristen Scott, Marketing Manager of Jostens Yearbook Customer Experience. “Schools use the yearbooks for brainstorming, teachers use them as a model of exemplary work, and yearbook reps use them as examples of excellence. We are very proud to celebrate the ability of this country’s future leaders and communicators by showcasing their sophisticated designs and photography.”
