About Herff Jones

We produce quality products that promote recognition, education and motivation. From classroom to printed page, our customers are our number one priority.

Herff Jones works closely with customers to create a climate of achievement through graduation products, class rings and jewelry, yearbooks, educational publishing, and motivation and recognition tools. The company provides guidance, support and quality products to elementary and middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities, church organizations, professional and collegiate sports teams and corporations. Founded nearly 100 years ago, Herff Jones is an employee-owned company organization focused on building long-term relationships through a network of trusted, expert sales representatives.

Committed to student journalism.

We know that nothing captures the energy and excitement at your school like a yearbook filled with photographs and achievements. At Herff Jones, we are experts at combining the art of yearbook design and printing with the science of new publishing technologies. Ultimately, it's about making each student feel unique and part of something special. So we do whatever it takes to support school yearbook advisers and staffs with training, insights and new ways to deliver a product that will stand the test of time.

Beyond the book.

As a corporate citizen, Herff Jones has a wide selection of ready-to-use, hands-on, motivational and educational programs designed to inspire and acknowledge the efforts of students, teachers and staffs. We are the founding sponsor of the Principal's Leadership Award, a national scholarship program for deserving student leaders, administered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). In addition, Herff Jones has co- sponsored the Journalism Education Association's Yearbook Adviser of the Year program since its inception in 1995. We are also proud to produce such prestigious products as the Jesse Owens Award, the Naismith Award for college basketball, the National Teacher Hall of Fame Awards and robes worn by the justices of the United States Supreme Court.

The educator's educator.

Our commitment to quality is obvious in our product. In fact, we print more of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) Gold Crown and Silver Crown yearbooks and National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) Pacemaker yearbooks, year after year, than any other company. Discriminating schools agree that Herff Jones consistently delivers a product of the highest quality and standards. We have talented yearbook representatives and other resources to help schools that want to produce journalistic books.

Quality assured.

Since Herff Jones is entirely owned and operated by its employees, a built-in quality assurance exists. Statistics show that employee ownership of any business bolsters the quality of the product produced. This private ownership advantage ensures the commitment of our employees to the quality of our product - a built-in quality assurance for our schools that other companies just can't offer. Another important quality assurance factor is the experience level of our production supervisors; many have been with Herff Jones for 30 years or more. This means to you is that the people involved with preserving your students' memories are seasoned professionals, not newly trained personnel.
