Senior Photos:  The last day to have a senior photo made is Sept. 8 (A-L) and Sept. 10 (M-Z).  If you do not have your photo made at this time, you will not be in the yearbook.  Please be sure you have your formal (drape/tux) photo made.

Seniors will be called alphabetically to Viking Hall for photos and will need to practice social distancing and wear a mask.  Seniors will not be required to wear a mask for photos.  The sitting fee cost is $25.00--cash or check payable to Lifetouch.

Senior distance learners may drop in (A-L) Sept. 8 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm; (M-Z) Sept. 10 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm.  You will need to check in at the office, have a temperature check, and wear a mask.  No one may accompany seniors to the photo shoot.
