Lance Baker – My English teacher asked me if I would attend the Indiana High School Journalism Institute in 1977. I was hooked after spending two weeks learning about journalism and photography!

Mitch Ziegler – Mitch Ziegler advised The Pilot and High Tide, the yearbook and newspaper at Redondo Union High School for 31 years. These publications won 40 Crowns and Pacemakers during this time. He was named the 2020 H. L. Hall National Yearbook Adviser of the Year by JEA. He currently serves as an adviser mentor, and as a member of the Awards Committee and Student Press Rights Commission for JEA. Somehow, during this time he also taught AP Language and Comp, and helped raise two sons. In 2012 his principal took pity on him and allowed him to transition from English to photography, rejuvenating his passion and perhaps saving his life.

Sandy O’Leary – I was asked to take over creating a yearbook last minute several years ago. After that, I worked with administration to develop a middle school yearbook/publications/journalism class. Working with several co-teachers over the years, we have been to creat me a curriculum. It’s stressful, it’s fun, it’s chaotic but I love it.

Michele Eaglin- I am now the Yearbook adviser along with Photography I & II

Shantel Reiber – This is my first year as a yearbook adviser. The previous adviser retired and I requested the opportunity. I love digital design and building relationships with kids is a strength of mine. I’m excited to be able to work with students in this new role.

Kimberly Butler – I taught English across the hall from our previous adviser. She often asked me to proof pages and help students write and edit copy. When she retired, she recommended me for the position. I enjoy being the adviser because I get to be involved with the various school activities. I enjoy helping students preserve their memories while they learn some beneficial real-life skills.

Maureen Farry – The previous yearbook adviser was RIF’ed and I took the position in exchange for teaching my preferred classes.

Nikki McLemore –

Kristi Korrow – Class was put in my lap.

Sue Flaming – A phone call 2 weeks before school started from a principal with no other options other than me, is how it started. I am not from the usual adviser background, I am a biology teacher. That was in 2018, now I enjoy being the yearbook adviser and wouldn’t give it up. We started as a picture book published at school on the copier to now entering national competitions. My staff has grown from 5 that first year to now having over 20 in class. #yerdlife

Michelle Miller – I was an English teacher with a Fine Arts minor. My principal voluntold me that I was to shadow the previous advisor her last year before retiring and that I would take it over after her retirement. I have now been the advisor for the last 9 years. When I got started, I was awarded a fellowship to the Reynolds Institute in Austin, Texas during the summer of 2014.

Linda Wilson – I have been an adviser for many years, but am not confident with my current systems. I want to continue upgrading my program. The students in this generation are different from when I started and I need to change with them and work out systems that fit them. This is the first year that I will not have any editors at the beginning of the year because they are all new. Maybe some will emerge as we get started, but I’m needing to change a lot of what worked in the previous years to accommodate the work ethics of today. I have a degree in Journalism Education and I love yearbooks.
