I can't IMAGINE being a junior high school teacher. All that drama! All those hormones just dripping off the kids. Now that it's clear (to me) that this is a junior high/middle school yearbook, I think an in-house publication will be fine. And I personally think kids respond well to teachers who expect a lot of them, so some of the snot-nose brats will come around, and you'll probably draw in some kids who are actually interested in learning and doing something creative.
I'd still contact Josten's and/or another publisher for samples of what they do for a junior high yearbook. They might be willing to help you out a little this year if there's a chance you can be a potential client next year, and maybe help you develop a fund raising plan.
