Yearbook News

2025-26 Yearbook Sales

Remember to purchase the 2025-2026 yearbook before it is too late at the link below.

Senior Parents

Senior parents are asked to send in your son/daughter's baby and freestyle pictures for the senior section of the yearbook. The freestyle picture is simply one that shows your senior's own style. It doesn't have to be professional; it can be sports- or activity-related, or any other photo besides the official one from school. Please make sure it is a modest picture.
