The Trojan Epic is the school's yearbook, whose purpose is to preserve events and experiences of the year for the students at West High.  The yearbook is produced electronically on Macintosh computers using InDesign software.  The Epic is an all-color, spring-delivery yearbook

Students apply to be part of the Epic staff during the spring. A student should first complete the year-long prerequisite class, Introduction to Journalism: Yearbook, and earn a B average. A student with a strong background in journalism, photography, or graphic design may join the Epic staff without completing the introductory course, although this is rare.

Epic staff members enroll in the Language Arts elective Yearbook Lab, which meets daily during an assigned class hour.  In addition to regular class meetings, staff members are required to attend a weekly work session after school or in the evening from mid-September until March 1.
