GREAT YEARBOOK PROGRAMS INCORPORATE Simple Ideas

F amily is at the heart of everything we do. With Tripp Walsworth joining his father, Don Walsworth, and grandfather, Don O. Walsworth, at the company in August of 2023, our family-owned business is now four generations strong. Tripp spent the last year getting to know the inner workings of our organization and visited over 95 schools. We sat down with Tripp to hear more about his time spent at those schools, what commonalities he observed in successful yearbook programs across the country and what he learned from his own time as a yearbook photo editor on his high school’s yearbook staff.

First Impressions. Aledo High School yearbook editor-in-chief Bridget Battenfield shows Tripp Walsworth their cover design and theme pages when he visited in early March. This stop was one of 15 he made with Walsworth Yearbooks Sales Representative Jill Chittum, MJE. The Ledoian yearbook consistently placed among the top yearbooks in national awards due to their exceptional design and theme implementation, winning NSPA Pacemakers and CSPA Gold Crowns.
