I am interested in getting my schools yearbooks posted online and need to know what services are available to make this happen.

I suspect that you do not wish to pay for them to be digitized. The best way is to donate them to a nearby library who might be interested in making them available to their patrons. If you get lucky, they might be interested in digitizing them.
