Your senior portrait is used for your yearbook photo. We do not accept outside submissions of senior photos. Your school picture (taken at the same time) is used on your intranet folder and your student ID. Even if you are not planning on purchasing a senior portrait package, please sign up so you are included in your senior yearbook and so we can create your student ID.
