The Pascagoula High School Yearbook Staff has earned national recognition with their 2025 yearbook’s inclusion in Possibilities, volume 11, an educational and inspirational yearbook collection by Walsworth Yearbooks that highlights and celebrates outstanding yearbook programs from across the country. Melanie Whitaker, Walsworth Yearbook Sales Representative, came to PHS to personally award the honor to Mrs. Richardson and her yearbook staff.

More than 6,000 yearbooks were reviewed, with only the top 10% hand-selected to be featured inside Possibilities based on their strong storytelling, creative design, impactful photography and cohesive theme development.  PHS was featured in the cover category for its exceptional work in capturing the spirit of the school year. The yearbook staff, led by adviser, Karly Richardson, worked throughout the year to plan coverage, refine layouts and ensure every student’s story was told with accuracy and creativity. These efforts resulted in a publication that stands out on a national level.

In addition, the PHS yearbook was also inducted into the Gallery of Excellence for the third straight year. This distinction is awarded to those yearbooks that consistently demonstrate superior quality. Congratulations to these yearbook staff students and their advisor, Mrs. Richardson.
