Andes Central has switched over to a digital only yearbook format. The 2024-25 Fall semester is currently available for viewing on the school website. The plan moving forward is to release a fall and spring yearbook shortly after each semester ends. This one's a bit late as we are figuring things out as we go. Suggestions are welcome and can be directed to Mr. Winter, Yearbook Advisor. The digital yearbook can be found on the website under the Gallery.
