Student Yearbook, Magazine, & Newspaper

At Gulliver Prep, our digital and printed publications offer many outlets for our students to be creative. Students learn skills in graphic design, visual communications and digital media as they work to produce the school yearbook, literary magazine, or newspaper. Many of the publications have won prestigious awards over the years and remain some of our most popular courses.

Raider Yearbook

A student-produced print publication capturing the year’s highlights through captivating graphic design.

2020 yearbook cover

The Raider Yearbook is an impressive, student-run publication, that serves as the school’s historical record of the academics, events, and student body each year. The Raider’s 400 pages are all conceptualized, designed, and created by a student-led staff, under the advisement of faculty member, Monica Rodriguez.

The publication stands as one of the top high school yearbooks in the U.S., having earned Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s prestigious Crown Award, and National Scholastic Press Association’s All-American awards for the past several years consecutively. The yearbook has been featured in NSPA’s “Best of the High School Press” publication, CSPA’s Crown Winners DVD, and Walsworth Publishing’s idea book Possibilities, and part of Walsworth Publishing’s President’s Collection, for excellence. The yearbook has also earned top recognition in the state of Florida, as a Florida Scholastic Press Association “All Florida” award recipient since 2011.
