Senior Yearbook Information
This year, students will be required to submit an application to have their Quotes, Baby Pictures, Activities, etc., included in the Yearbook.
Senior Information Applications/Packets will be handed out to students during Homecoming Week. Copies will be made available in the Front Office of the main building and in Mrs. Peck’s room 226. There will also be digital copies posted in the Senior Schoology group, on the Yearbook Facebook Page, and in the Yearbook Schoology group.
We understand how important it is for Seniors to have the opportunity to have all the special parts of themselves included in their final yearbook. For this reason, we have implemented ways to prevent student information from being left out. The ONLY way for a student to have their information included in the Yearbook is to submit the packet application in its entirety prior to the due date. There will be no exceptions. The packets will be due 11/01/2022.
