MARYSVILLE — Staff and students from Marysville-Pilchuck High School decided to include photographs of the shooter, along with the victims, in its yearbook.
The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, has his picture among the freshmen class and in football and Homecoming photos.
He was not part of a remembrance in the yearbook for the victims. The school asked those students’ families to choose a photo and provide words for the remembrance.
Fryberg shot fellow freshmen Zoe Galasso, Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, Gia Soriano, Andrew Fryberg and Nate Hatch before killing himself Oct. 24, 2014. Hatch recovered but the other five died.
The yearbook staff also prepared an optional insert that included pages with photographs and context about the tragedy. Students were given the choice of whether they wanted to pick up the insert.
Marysville School District Superintendent Becky Berg said research was done into “the most appropriate ways to approach the content and layout of the yearbook” after the tragic events of the school year.
