Dear Class of 2026 Families,
As we begin preparing for your student’s senior year, we want to make sure everyone understands the importance of scheduling and completing a senior portrait session.
Senior portraits are more than just a photo. These professional, high-quality images are used for formal events and recognitions throughout senior year, including:
Senior Awards Night
Graduation programs and slideshows
Award plaques that include student photos
The Senior Composite, which hangs in our Alumni Hallway
The Senior Section of the Yearbook
Please note: ID photos are not used for any of these events or publications. They are only used in our student information system and for informal purposes. Students who do not take a senior portrait will not appear in the senior section of the yearbook or in the class composite. Missing this photo can also impact their participation in other senior-year recognitions and events.
If you would like your photos taken as early as possible and potentially plan to buy a package, we recommend you sign up for the summer dates. These dates and how to book an appointment was sent last week.
Senior photos are free if you’re only using them for school-related purposes like the yearbook, senior composite, and graduation displays, and not ordering them for personal use. The no-cost/no sitting fee option will be available during the fall and winter sessions, when photographers return to East High during the school day. We’ll share those dates after the summer sessions have ended.
We are sharing this now to give everyone ample time to plan. We want all seniors to be included and celebrated fully during their final year at East. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
With excitement for the year ahead,
EHS Administration
