  Stepping is based on a long and rich tradition in African-based communities that use movement, words and sounds to communicate allegiance to a group and draws movements from African foot dances.

In addition to step shows and competitions on college campuses, today stepping can also be found in schools, churches and community organizations around the country and is spreading its wings to new venues and participants, such as Latino and Asian American Greek-letter organizations.

The class itself is called Photojournalism, and collectively, yearbook staff members have a very tangible goal: to produce the school yearbook. There’s also a broader goal: to learn the principles of photojournalism, or telling stories through a mix of photography and words. The class focuses on a whole series of skills related to photography, journalism, and publishing: taking and editing photographs; conducting interviews; writing headlines, stories, and captions; laying out and designing spreads; and creating documents using publishing software. The name of the Seton's yearbook is Caritas, which is the Latin word for charity. The name of the book is derived from and dedicated to the school's sponsors, The Daughters of Charity
