About

Instagram Yearbook Pages refers to a trend in which high schools, unable to create tangible yearbooks due to coronavirus-related school cancellations, instead create an Instagram page for graduating seniors where each post highlights a senior's post-graduation plans, senior quote, etc.

History

Instagram pages for specific high school graduating classes affected by COVID-19 began appearing in April of 2020. One of the earliest pages was created by Dunwoody High School in Georgia, which began posting yearbook entries for graduating seniors on April 9th, 2020.[9] On Twitter, Conestoga High School senior Ariana Mendoza,[2] who runs the page for her school,[1] said she partnered with The Spoke to help create the page.
