Senior Yearbook Photos
Seniors who want to change their photo in the yearbook to be something other than their ID photo can upload a senior picture here. Choose “portrait” and not “general photos” to submit.
The photos need to be:
- Vertical (portrait) orientation
- 2:3 aspect ratio
- High resolution
If a student would like senior pictures but cannot afford them, please have them reach out to their counselor as early as possible. For any other questions about senior photos, please reach out to Alex Snyder.

Stay informed with the Senior's Web Page that includes information about senior photos, how to order the required graduation cap and gown (order due date is 12/31/21), and much more.
