Yearbook Search – Your library needs your help! We are trying to fill in yearbook gaps that we have in our archive for our Indianola high schools. If you have any of the following years for the following schools, please reach out to us. We can either accept it as a donation, or we can scan a copy of it. Either way, our goal is to preserve the yearbook so that it can be used by future generations. Help us save our history.
