Yearbook

Bellarmine is extraordinarily proud of its award-winning yearbook, the Carillon. With full lab with state-of-the-art technology in the basement of O’Donnell Hall, the staff works diligently throughout the year to compile one of the best yearbooks in the state. Each summer, a dozen Bellarmine student-editors begin to create the concept that will serve as the basis for chronicling and archiving the events of the upcoming school year. 75 members of the Carillon yearbook staff collaborate on Copy, Design, and Photography from August through June. They help the editors put all the necessary parts together that accurately represent each school event, from those in the classroom to those on the playing field.

Before a staff begins to plan the Carillon, they understand that it is a product of the school and that it will reflect the entire population of the school. A single edition of a journalistically sound yearbook serves many purposes. It is a picture book, a history book, a record book, a reference book, a public relations tool and an educational experience.

The Carillon Yearbook serves as a marker of Bellarmine’s history; and the editors along with the staff know that, in working together, they are the archivists of the school. The lens they choose will be the defining way that current students and alumni will remember Bellarmine in the future. A quick glance through the Carillon transports its readers to the time it represents, evoking all of the memories and emotions experienced during that year. In many ways, no other publication can do what the Carillon does.
