Sand Springs, Okla. Jostens, the leading producer of yearbooks and student-created content, today announced that Charles Page Freshman Academy’s yearbook program has achieved the Jostens National Yearbook Program of Excellence 2025 award at the Gold Level. The National Yearbook Program of Excellence recognizes engaging yearbooks that reflect a broad representation of the student body while helping students to develop 21st century skills such as communication, collaboration, and information and communication technologies (ICT) literacy. 

 

The Charles Page Freshman Academy award-winning yearbook program was led by Lillian Adkins, Rylee Allen, Alexiah Campbell, Chabela Campos, Ashtyn Edlund, Sabree Fenimore, Madison Goetz, Elocin Marquez, Aleecia McCaslin, Doyle McEntire, Hailey Noe, Angelica Parker, Jenna Perez, Owen Phillips, Stephen Pilgrim, and Jayla Ruhland under the direction of Brittany Pride, Charles Page Freshman Academy yearbook adviser.

 

“Earning the Gold level in the Program of Excellence is a reflection of last year’s staff and their dedication from the first deadline to the last. Their hard work, creativity, and commitment made this achievement possible,” said Brittany Pride.

Jostens’ National Yearbook Program of Excellence Awards are presented twice a year, in spring and in fall based on the yearbook’s arrival date at the school. The award was presented to the Charles Page Freshman Academy yearbook program for achieving defined criteria in between one and three of the following categories: creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement, and successfully managing the yearbook creation process. 

 

“Jostens is proud to recognize those individuals who have created an exceptional yearbook for their school and community,” said Tammy Whitaker, Jostens VP and COO Yearbook Division. “These schools did an exceptional job on multiple levels, despite the challenges presented by this school year. Yearbooks are a critical part of capturing and telling a school’s story, and Jostens is dedicated to supporting yearbook staff members as they do their important work.”

Congratulations, Sandites!
