Yearbook
The cap and gown and the tassel you purchase for your senior this year will inevitably get lost in a drawer over the next few years. If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to buy a lasting memento that will grow in value each year – the 2021 Hamden High School yearbook.
Buy online with a credit card, debit card or PayPal at yearbookforever.com or visit A208 with $80 cash. Order now, so you won’t miss out when the yearbook is distributed in June, or when the class reunions start rolling around.
